If you have masters degree maybe you should look for a job that doesn’t lay people off. I’d not work the kind of job and I don’t have 4 kids at home. Perhaps you can get a temporary job right now, retail hires part time all the time. If you can’t manage and water is shut down go get a second job or something. Also if you know your company lays people off periodically why not save money to get through few months? You focus on wrong things. Beingmad your wife is on vacation instead of looking into ways and choices to improve your life overall
