>>12079433I worked for USAP (US Antarctic program) for the last few years. Now my position is gone because they had to cut 75% of staffing due to corona. My boss wanted to give me a promotion based off my previous job performance (which would have allowed me to keep going down there as that spot wasn't cut), but my coworker sabotaged that by basically shit talking me. Now I am unemployed. After that I applied to work at spacex. No joke. I went through the first interview and passed with flying colors. It was during that interview that spacex told me that my coworker ahd accepted a job there. I was unsure about proceeding but went ahead. I went through two more round of technical interviews which I passed again with flying colors. My recruiter for the spot told me I should ask during the final round about a full engineer spot (a rank or so above the job that I applied for) since I was doing so well, so I did.
They didn't give me the spot because they were unsure of my commitment to the position I applied and interviewed for.
I also had a relationship I felt would result in marriage fall apart in the most insane fucking way this year (basically she was hiding a lot of personality flaws, like epically low self esteem which caused her to rip our relationship down over the slightest problem.
So yeah. I'm living with my parents, 30, unemployed, and feel fucking cursed. I didn't do anything wrong and I still feel like I've gotten slapped down into the dirt by life. Not a good feel bros. I am just barely keeping it together.
