1
so I wasn't even planning on making a video I was just trying to do some work
2
I recently moved house like literally a few days ago
3
so I'm still setting up my office it's a bit of a mess there's all this stuff behind me
4
and next to me but I've had my working space set up to how I wanted
5
and I was just doing some work and then I got this email saying that let me bring it up
6
and the email says invitation to discuss changes to my role and
7
And there was also like a letter included.
8
And everything in it kind of sounds like it's a redundancy.
9
But it doesn't like explicitly say it.
10
It just says there's going to be changes to your role.
11
They said they're not making any decisions yet,
12
but the meeting is conducted by the head of tech and also an HR person.
13
And when I noticed that an HR person is involved, I automatically started thinking, this is not good news.
14
and i should probably clarify so i'm a software developer
15
and recently my company has heavily invested into like ai and ai is doing
16
a lot of our work at the moment like it's increased my productivity the the amount of work
17
I would do in two weeks.
18
I can probably do in two days now.
19
Maybe three days.
20
So it's definitely improved productivity.
21
And the last few months, everyone has been reassured
22
that all the permanent full -time employees are safe no one's job is at risk
23
but a few weeks back i think three developers were made redundant and now it seems like there's more to come
24
and it sucks because the job market is terrible at the moment especially in software development and we just bought this house
25
this is frustrating we just bought a new house
26
I don't know what to do
27
Because I know some people
28
Who were In a similar position I know they couldn't find a job for like 6 months
29
in the particular tech stack that I work in.
30
So it's not looking good.
31
Like, I don't know for sure.
32
I'll find out tomorrow.
33
I don't want to react too soon, but based on everything I've read, this is not good news.
34
So I may have to potentially figure out a way to change careers
35
I need to do something that can pay the same amount of money so I can pay my new mortgage
36
Yeah, this sucks, this really sucks
37
Yeah, I don't know what's going to happen.
38
I'll wait till tomorrow and have like a follow -up tomorrow.
39
How did you get a job?
40
So it's five minutes before the meeting starts.
41
The meeting that will kind of decide whether I have a job or not.
42
But I've spoken to a couple of people who got the same email as me.
43
They had the exact same meetings and yeah, it's basically a redundancy.
44
I think they will cut around 30 jobs company -wide.
45
So it's not looking good for me.
46
I kind of wish we didn't buy that house.
47
If I knew this was going to happen, we wouldn't have bought the house.
48
Yeah, this is shit.
49
It's really shit.
50
I don't know what else to say.
51
here we go the meeting has started just gotta join it now so what's going on is that due to
52
economic challenges uh during this review
53
we identified your role as being at risk no final decision
54
has been made yet this is just a start of a consultation process
55
you know a few few weeks back we were all assured
56
that you know all the permanent employees are safe and
57
that the contractors were going to be like removed at the end of
58
or in october when contract runs out and everyone was saying
59
that you know all the onshore developers are safe and
60
that doesn't seem to be the case
61
so i kind of wish i knew earlier so i could have looked for work
62
it's just the timing of this sucks like it's like the worst possible time
63
because we just bought a new house and our mortgage doubled
64
and the job market sucks so i don't know what i'm gonna do I understand
65
Is it not
66
Fuck Fuck Fuck
67
What makes this worse is I've got my kids photos on my computer
68
And it's like I get that decision
69
And then I look at my screen And I see them And I'm like
70
What the fuck am I gonna do oh oh I gotta turn that off

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
