Zukunft Thyssenkrupp unsicher: Jobverlust – Meine persönliche Geschichte und Tipps für Betroffene
Hey Leute,
let's talk about something pretty heavy: Thyssenkrupp, and the very real fear of Jobverlust. I know, it's not exactly a fun topic, but it's one that's hitting a lot of people hard right now. And honestly, I've been there. So, I figured I'd share my story, a few hard-won lessons, and hopefully offer some support.
A few years back, I worked for a smaller supplier to Thyssenkrupp. Not directly in Thyssenkrupp, but we were tightly connected. Think of us as one of those tiny cogs in a massive machine – when the machine sputters, those little cogs feel it first. And boy, did we feel it. Rumors started swirling like crazy – restructuring, layoffs, the whole shebang. It was like a bad movie playing out in slow motion. Every email felt like a potential pink slip. I even started refreshing the company intranet every five minutes - completely unproductive, I know, but that's the kind of anxiety a Jobverlust threat brings.
The Panic Set In
One Monday morning, it happened. My team lead called me into his office. My stomach dropped. He explained that, due to the economic downturn and ongoing restructuring within Thyssenkrupp, my position was being eliminated. Total shock. I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. My first thought? Panic. Pure, unadulterated panic. Bills, mortgage, the whole nine yards - it all came crashing down. I left the office in a daze.
The next few days were a blur. I spent hours applying for jobs, anything I could find. I even applied for things I wasn't remotely qualified for - desperation will do that to you. The whole process felt incredibly demoralizing.
What I Learned (the Hard Way)
Looking back, there are a few things I wish I'd done differently. Firstly, don't panic. Easier said than done, I know. But freaking out doesn't help. It just makes things worse. Try deep breathing exercises, talk to someone – a friend, family, a therapist. Getting support is crucial.
Secondly, network, network, network. Reach out to everyone you know – former colleagues, classmates, even distant relatives. You never know who might have a lead.
Thirdly, update your resume and LinkedIn profile. Make it shine! Highlight your skills and achievements. Use keywords relevant to your field and to Thyssenkrupp. Think about all of the related industries that are affected by Thyssenkrupp restructuring news. This is crucial for getting found by recruiters. I also wish I had spent more time tailoring my applications - I simply wasn't focused.
Fourthly, explore all options. This might include upskilling or reskilling. There are tons of online resources and courses available, from Coursera to edX. Perhaps even consider freelancing to bridge the gap.
Staying Positive (It's Possible!)
It wasn't easy, but I eventually found a new job – a better one, actually. It paid more, and I learned new skills. I eventually learned to view this experience as a chance for growth. It taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of networking. It also highlighted how important it is to prepare for the unexpected.
If you're facing a similar situation, please know you're not alone. Reach out. Take it one step at a time. And remember that this isn't the end of the world. It's just a bump in the road. There is life after Thyssenkrupp, even after a Jobverlust. The future might seem uncertain, but it's not hopeless. You got this!
