What are the consequences of being away from work for a long time?

People who do not work for a long time may become decadent, obese, lack confidence, lazy, have poor health, have a dull brain, etc.

If you have money, you will be very happy if you don't work for a long time.

If you don't have money, as the time you don't work gets longer, when you see your savings decreasing at a visible speed, you will become more and more anxious.

This is a true portrayal of my friend.

Before the Spring Festival, he was laid off and received more than 60,000 yuan in economic compensation. He said he would treat me to a meal to celebrate his "graduation". When I asked him what he planned to do next, I replied that the market was not good now, and he planned to take a break and go home to have a good New Year, and then look for a job after the New Year.

Later, I didn't pay attention to this matter anymore. I worked when I should work and rested when I should rest.

A while ago, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't contacted him for a long time, so I made an appointment for a meal. I thought he had found a job, but after meeting him, I found that he still hadn't found a job.

I said that your gap period is too long, and you should find one quickly.

Compared with the meal before the festival, his anxiety can be clearly felt at this meal. On the one hand, he said that it is not easy to find a job now, and he interviewed a few companies but didn't get one. On the other hand, he asked me if I knew anyone who could recommend a big company.

After I got home, I asked for his resume and passed it to a friend who works in a big company. It was up to him.

I don’t know if you have noticed a phenomenon, that is, many people are now laid off or unemployed, and it is easy to attribute the reason for not being able to find a job in a short time to "bad market conditions".

Indeed, compared with the early days, the employment environment has been bad in recent years due to various influences.

But a bad employment environment does not mean that you will definitely not be able to find a job. I believe that everyone has friends and colleagues who have recently changed jobs with high salaries, or found a job with a salary far exceeding the original position after being unemployed.

In fact, the position is there, and the result of your striving for it is "having a job" and "unemployment".

But if you don’t fight, and think that the overall environment is not good, you plan to wait and see, then I’m sorry, if you don’t even take action, the result can only be "unemployment".

So let’s go back to the question of "what will happen if you don’t work for a long time".

I think the essence lies in whether you are financially free, or have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, because only in this way can you enjoy your life without any worries.
