Got laid off 2 weeks after being told I was getting promoted.

Mine

January: was mentally drained from working Amazon warehouse job for 3 years. Took a 2 month leave of absence to look for a job.

March: after 2 months got a job quit Amazon. Job was landscaping (grass cutting). Wasn't provided any training on how to use the broken equipment and they had 3 employees plus me crammed into the car during a pandemic, and employees had to provide their own PPE. Should have left during orientation when the HR lady said they had a high turnover rate. Also sexist/racist employees. Bad signs. I quit.

May: got a job at a moving company. Got through the 5 day training/orientation just fine. On the second day of work developed bilateral stress fractures of the femoral necks. Put on restricted work for 2 months while going to the doctor every few weeks. Doctor didn't find anything wrong with my bloodwork to find out what would cause a 28 year old to develop such injures. Doctor recommended I resign and I did in July.

Then-Now: been on unemployment, and applying. Last job I applied to was for overnight stocker position at target. Also decided to take a couple of online classes to go for an associate's degree in applied science for IT.

Is the job market really that bad right now? My current boss badmouthed me to a potential employer, resulting in an offer being rescinded. Do I address it with my current boss? I’m ready to better my life but I don’t know where to start? Is it actually legitimate to think that I didn’t get an interview because I was overqualified? Or is that something people tell themselves to feel better? Employment verification turned into a bad reference. Employment verification turned into a bad reference. Ghosted after 8 interviews... is there anything I can do for some petty revenge? What’s with all these people talking about making 50, 60k starting in all these different fields? Never thought I’d argue and get angry with a hiring manager. Got my application rejected within hours obviously…. Boss asked us for $ to throw a pizza party Should I lie about having children? Are job interviews just getting the person to like you? Where will the “quiet quitting” movement, piss-poor salaries and difficulties finding work lead in a time of inflation and high cost of living? This doesn’t seem sustainable. First interaction was asking how much money i want. Red flag? Struggling to find even a basic office job
