G. Begging/Requesting
When you are hungry and the above solutions are not working for you, you might request the known ones for help. For instance, you may request your neighbor for some food, or beg people who have a surplus of food to help you with food.
Same way, when you have your pink slip visible, you may request the management and beg them to consider not taking away your job.
H. Borrowing
You know that you have the ability to arrange for the resources sooner, but right now you do not have the resources you need. You may borrow some ingredients or vegetables from your neighbor, promising him that you will soon purchase and return back him the ingredients. As you are too hungry now, immediate resource availability is your key.
Borrowing may not be a solution for job loss, but you may consider borrowing some money from the bank in the form of a personal loan to survive for the period till you get a new job. The debt industry serves this essential need.
I. Exchanging
Exchanging is one of the oldest ways humans have solved their problems and is the fundamental on which the entire social structure is based. A farmer exchanges his crops for milk products from an anima farmer, clothes from a cloth maker, and kitchen tools from an ironsmith.
In modern days, we carry out the exchange through a universally agreed value system which is called money. This system has been so integrated into us that we may not even realize that you are exchanging all the time for solving our problem.
So, when you are hungry, your neighbor may have enough resources but not the time and energy to cook the food. You may offer to cook the food and get your food from it in exchange. Here you are investing your energy and time to get your solution, while the resource is provided by someone else who doesn’t have the energy.
Same way, when you lost the job, you may offer to do someone else’s job in exchange for the resources you need. This is called freelancing. So for instance someone is working independently and making pickles at home. She has a lot of orders and not enough energy to deliver all the orders. So she has been letting go of these offers.
Even though you are a coder who has recently lost the job, you may go to this pickle maker and ask her if you could make a pickle on her behalf while she focuses on bringing and delivering more orders. Every employment is created in this way.
