뜻
To no longer have employment.
문화적 배경
In the US, 'losing a job' often comes with a loss of health insurance, making it a very serious event. In Japan, there is a strong cultural emphasis on long-term employment, so losing a job can carry a higher social stigma. The term 'redundancy' is often used instead of 'losing a job' when it is due to company cutbacks.
Use 'my'
Always use a possessive pronoun like 'my' or 'his' before 'job'.
Don't say 'lost my work'
It sounds unnatural to native speakers.
