I was laid off today
Edited on Tue Sep-25-07 09:08 PM by sasquatch
:(
Oh well, I knew it was coming.
I file for unemployment tomorrow.

BTW on Edit I wanted to include my last quote at work which I wrote on black marker and stuck to my locker before I left:

"So long and thanks for all the fish!"
:)

8. I'm sorry to hear that.
I know we've had our differences, but I hate seeing/hearing about this happening to anyone.

Any prospects?

12. The prospects for me are college
I'm a good student and plan on entering teaching at the high school level. I know just what the kids need: a raving lunatic screaming at them to find the ultimate truth and beat back the ugly brutes with the force of a thousand suns.

33. I think that's great. I taught high school for 10 years and loved every moment.
Kids are awesome to work with and with your sense of humor, you'll be a huge hit.

Good luck and I'm sorry that happened to you. :hug:

15. Happened to me yesterday
Sales are down and the forecast is bleak. My facility however was operating at a good volume with a minimum of employees. "A victim of my own success" they said. WTF?

20. Good luck, sasquatch.
It's been my experience that a lot of people who are laid off end up with a better job anyway. I hope it works that way for you.

I think that's terrific. You've got yourself a silver lining.
