fluffer_bottom_34's journey

I've been reflecting on the current job market, especially since my partner has been unemployed for the past 8 months without any callbacks on the numerous applications submitted. I've been with my company for over 15 years, so I haven't had to navigate job hunting in a long time, and I'm starting to feel frustrated. I'm reaching out for insights from others about the job landscape, as I wonder if it's really as dire as it seems. Some comments I've seen suggest that the situation is as bad as it was during the 2008-2010 recession, which is concerning. I would appreciate hearing about others' experiences and perspectives on this.
