Update: Thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers . Your messages helped me feel better :) For some reason, Kinja does not show me all the comments on the post for me to respond individually.
I don’t have any design experience. I’m more into QA / QC, Material Science, Coating, Plating, NDT, etc.
Buffer image for those who don’t feel like being bummed out today.
I got laid off. Sucks to suck. Gotta start looking for work again.
If you guys know of any opportunities in engineering / quality / manufacturing in Canada, do let me know.
I am trying to stay positive. Things can always be worse. I live in Canada and don’t have to leave the country because of a job loss, so my life is not completely wrecked.
Wish there was a way to know you’re in the “good times” before they pass. Stay appreciative of what you have, Opponauts.

Just know that you do NOT suck. Layoffs happen all the time for all sorts of reasons to every sort of person , and often enough those laid off are quite skilled and well suited for the job, so as much of a blow as it is right now , just try to not take it as an insult to yourself as a person or even as an employee.
You DO NOT suck, you will absolutely land another job and soon enough you’ll find that it all worked out for the better. Good luck to you, keep your head up and your mind positive, and before long you'll be able to look back on this as not the end of something, but the start of something greater.

Another Oppo down! This year has been seriously sucky for everyone involved but at least your isn’t on fire like so many people. I just realized how many people are probably unemployed AND dealing with loss of home right now. I’ll be praying for you as I know it isn’t an easy time to find another job and any openings will be very competitive. But I know you’ll pull through even if it is difficult.

Sorry to hear that. You should try some contingent staffing firms, so reach out to those folks and alot of companies are working with recruiters to fill internal positions I hope that helps.

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear it.
Regarding employment, I don't know what part of Canada you're in, but based on my experience as a contractor there a few years ago, Irving Shipbuilding in Halifax could have something up your alley.

I know one of our engineers is leaving. not sure if we’re posting the job as of yet. Faro arm scanning, data crunching, reverse engineering of industrial parts, generating drawings for engineered repairs etc. Metro Vancouver. If it’s something to pursue, I can enquire if it will be posted and where.

Ugh I know all of these things because I’ve worked in roles adjacent to this. But I don’t have any experience with Faro arm scanning or design personally. I don’t think I’m fit for that job.
I do appreciate your gesture though, so thank you.
