Rant: Laid off

Post by The Third Man »

I think that speaks for itself. Kind of stunned right now, I was one of the first people hired in that department. Me and a handful of my work buddies got blindsided this morning. Between this and putting my cat of 17 years down a few days ago, this has been a [expletive] show of a week. On the bright side, I have another paycheck and a half coming plus payout for all my accrued PTO dates, and I was already looking for a new job anyway, but...wow.

Tough news, TM. Stay positive - convince yourself that this will lead to better things down the road.

You don't get any kind of severance package?

Not if he's looking. Might need them for a reference. :wink:

Good luck, hope you find something soon. And so very sorry about your cat. 17 years is a good, long life.

I'm very sorry to hear this. Might look like Mt. Everest right now, but I'm sure some day you will look back at it on a little bump in the road.

Nah, she left a while back and I've been seeing somebody for a couple of months anyway.
