I got fired from Tesla my life hit rock bottom a couple months ago 2 years ago I worked for Tesla August 2nd was my first day as a pre- delivery specialist it was the best job I've ever had I actually enjoyed waking up in the morning and going to work soon passion took over and I worked my way up in my department and got promoted to 2ic vehicle sales were Rising new models were getting released and Tesla was more popular than ever which means more deliveries more deliveries equal busier days some weeks it became a
norm to work 9 to 10 hours a day whatever gets the job done I didn't mind it I loved what I did life was going well being 23 at the time I felt like I was ahead of most people my age I drove a Tesla moved out traveled to Japan and proposed to my girlfriend I was at an all-time high April 1st 2024 Tesla's Revenue dropped 9% due to increased competition and slowing demand for electric vehicles my parents were worried are there still deliveries I was so naive and answered yeah there's heaps little did and
I know we were only delivering the leftover stock the inevitable was around the corner the difficult decision to reduce our headcount by more than 10% globally my supervisor comforted me don't worry this happens every year your job is essential to the business I continue to do my job like nothing happened business as usual they said fre delivery has I would like to thank everyone who is departing Tesla for their hard work I started applying for everything competitors carpet cleaning tech support Pest Control you name it I applied very quickly I was hired by Tesla's competitor
as their Logistics coordinator it was a corporate job I guess you could say it was safe stable reliable but corporate wasn't for me it never has been I decided to pursue a different company B yd another jump in salary at 100,000 a year this is where most people will settle I made it right for some reason I still didn't feel like this is where I wanted to be people around me say just suck it up it's fine you'll get used to it my life was a mess I had lost my purpose in life and I
just felt like giving up I was left in a dilemma to be stuck in a job I had no passion in or to live when we look at it that way the answer was simple until where most people call it a coincidence but I call it fate an old high school buddy of mine walked into my showroom looking for a car to buy for his mom on a Wednesday afternoon the last time I talked to him he was walking the route of Entrepreneurship while the rest of us prepared for the rat race when he walked
through those doors my first thought was he looks happy this friend will call him Matt he was living the life that I could only dream of the freedom of doing whatever the he wants whatever he wants no manager breathing down your neck no kpis to hit and most importantly no request for time off now the question on everyone's mind is what does he do YouTube I did the crazy I took the risk and I quit under his guidance I started this channel to share when life gives you the finger you make lemonade you see this
is my FML moment FML comes in different shapes and sizes and for me it looked like this there's different ways to handle FML moment but this is how I would have done it first thing to do when you get hit with an FML is to take a step back let yourself grieve it's okay to let it out scream in your car cry into a pillow whatever it is let it out the last thing you want is to make things worse with hasty decisions which was the mistake I made I rushed into a job I wasn't
sure I was going to like only to waste my time money and effort in jumping between interviews and jobs the Stress and Anxiety will hit you the hardest as frustrated as you might feel right now don't never take it out on the people you love they are there to listen and overcome your hardships so embrace them you're not going through this alone now I got paid a severance package so I have maybe 6 months of savings to figure out how do I UNF my life let's see here I have rent groceries and utilities to pay
did I mention I drive a Tesla well that was financed probably one of the stupidest loans I've gotten it's right up there with my student loans s tier second lay out your options list all your issues and all the possible solutions any solution no matter how crazy this will help you clear your mind and find the best route to take you soon realize the environment around you has gone to [ __ ] your laundry basket is full dishes are piling up in the sink and the trash hasn't been taken out for weeks I know it
would feel pointless but cleaning up your environment will actually make you feel better the same goes for self-care whether you're a guy or a girl treat yourself with skin care a massage or go into the gym feeling good on the outside helps you feel good on the inside now there will come doubts and downfalls on your journey to your life for me it was my fiance because of my $0 annual income I was left with the choice to move back with my parents or watch my fiance's hard-earned money cover for me for God knows when
she's the best and was willing to support any decision I made I know I was putting her in a tough lose lose position but I made the decision with a mindset that this is only temporary to move back to my parents' place soon the negative thoughts starts rushing in was this a mistake if I don't make money soon she'll leave me this is only natural and you need to tell yourself this is the decision you made and you will push through turn your doubts and downfalls into motivation my fiance has this thing where the more
she misses me the meaner she is to me now as cute as that is it just gives me more motivation to make enough money to move back in with her comparison is the thief of Joy I never really understood this quote until I experienced this firsthand I was super happy getting 1,000 views on my first video but that Joy disappeared as soon as I started comparing myself to others be grateful on what you have and focus on yourself I'm going to be honest I don't want to lie to you and say I have completely uned
my life because we will always be working through something these steps are how I handled my FML moment I'm not sharing my story in hopes to get pity donations from you I don't want your money but to help people going through similar situations as I have because everyone at some point is lost in life if you are going through something share your story in the comments Let's help each other out I'll be sharing more stories like this one so subscribe to not miss it I just want to add English is my fiance second language so
she has trouble understanding my videos but I wanted to let the world know that she is one in a trillion and my first YouTube paycheck will be spent on spoiling her babe if you are watching this I'm going to make it
