Laid off...wtf

Just have to vent.

Came to work this morning, doing what i do and at 10am bam, friday is your last day. what the f-. We all (people who got let go) saw this coming on day but when the v.p. of operations is walking around saying we're strong and their is nothing to worry about...f-that dude and his 7 hundred thousand dollar a year wage. This place can eat shat. 5 years of doing lighting/electrical design out the window. so a big thanks for letting me go, there must be a bigger plan for me....somewhere(?).

I'm done...thanks.

 

Sorry to hear this, hope you find something soon

 

I hear ya man, it sucks. Not much of a warnng either. It's really hard to take when it comes from someone making big money. Sorry to hear about this, and hopefully you'll find whatever the "bigger plan" is. Good luck, and vent here anytime, I do.

 

Sorry to hear that man. Stay strong and good luck with the new job search.

 

Sorry to hear that.

The good news is, Obama will take care of you.

 

It does suck man- Don't be sour about it...Keep that "better plan" in mind and be positive. Good luck

 

Here's some advice from someone ( me) who went through this 4 years ago: Take a few weeks off and ENJOY yourself. Seriously- when I was laid off, I had the best time. Went on a few trips, got stuff done at the house. Took me 2 months to find another job. Good luck!

 

That's some real good advice.

 

If you can speak Spanish AT&T is hiring for customer service/sales consultants. PM me if i can help. Sorry to hear that though.

Thomas Jefferson. he was kind of a big deal...

i say take some time off. do some things you been puttin off for awhile. then go after your goals.

 

i feel for you man. Ever since gas dropped to under 5 bucks and oil dropped below 50 bucks, there's been lots of people fearful for their jobs here. My friends in engineering that haven't been laid off yet are one project cancellation away from not only being out of work, but unable to find more.

I wish the worst was over, but i don't see things turning back around till this time next year.

Good luck to you.

 

Sorry Chris, you have to work. You are too big to fail.

 

thats a damn shame man, but keep your head up youll find something you will like doing better and possible make more money to mod your truck.

 

Been there myself, several times. The last thing you want to do is burn bridges and get mad. Redirect your energies....it could happen again. Trust in your capabililities and skills.

 

Sorry to hear that happened to you. Nothing wasted and you've gained experience and knowledge. Sucks how they handled it but turn it around put that energy into a new venture. Hope things gets better for ya.

 

Hey! I just had a great idea!!! LET'S APPLY FOR TARP MONEY TO TACOMAWORLD!!!!!!!

 

Same thing happened to me I got laid-off on Tuesday. No warning. I agree with the other guys its an opportunity to explore other options and take some time for yourself. I personally am going to concentrate on finishing school. I only 2 semesters left.

Good luck!

 

I would agree. It sucks to get laid off. I have been there, but putting your energy into something else can help.

It still blows that you were laid off.
