My job just laid off 10% of the workforce and I'm afraid I'm next.
It is a very long task and for a total of $1.50 for 25 minutes of work, it is a bit underpaying.
I am not really getting any concrete tips or help.
I think I couldn't help him enough, I'm not satisfied with my help

I know, but I am the only one in the family making money and we need this job. My wife was laid off earlier this year. If I'm laid off, we can't afford our home. We are already dipping into savings because my wife lost her job.

Did you try searching for new jobs?

I tried and had a couple of interviews but the response was pretty much "you're too experienced" or "we have cheaper applicants than you". Obviously not that direct but reading between the lines you know?
