Laid Off So the company I work for shut down the whole dept and laid everyone off without notice. Supervisors and all. Just went to work one day and were told to go to a meeting and were told there. We didn't even go back to work that day. Talk about stress.. I know I'll pick up, dust off and move on but it's not fun. Oh here's the really screwed up thing about it. They gave our jobs to ppl in India. :( |
i am so sorry to hear this...eveything happens for a reason but when you need your job that doesnt cut it. i wish you luck in your search. |
I am so sorry :(! That's just terrible. It has to be such a shock. I hope you are able to find a job you love soon...a really awesome job! You'll be in my thoughts. |
Thanks. I will be ok. :) I'm getting unemployment and I know everything happens for a reason and it always works out, but yeah, it was a shocker. lol No one seen it coming. |
Oh my....What a shock...You have a great attitude though!! My DH lost his job after 24 years on the job, they filed bankruptsy and get this...The company that bought them and closed them offered my DH a year later at a much reduced salary...I am happy that he has a job even so, that was so wrong of them. A blessing for DH, he gets to work from home so he is with our 3 yorkies all day!! :p Good luck on the job hunt. I might suggest that you not take a month off before looking for a job, that is what DH did. With all the people looking for jobs he regrets that part.... |
This job market sucks. Hopefully, you will find a new job quickly. My dad is working in Nashville, TN and the rest of his family is in NJ. He has been down there for almost 1 1/2 years and was out of work for that long before he found this job. He is an insurance claim/environmental attorney. My brother is an accountant and can't find a steady job he even got his masters degree and is trying to get his CPA to be more competitive. |
I am so sorry to hear this but you have the right attitude...everything happens for a reason. The majority of jobs outsourced/offshore are slowly coming back to the US because over time the local governments are imposing financial demands on the US companies which eventually makes it more costly to do the job there (than in the US). Take this opportunity to probably pursue a job in another area, thus building skills and making yourself even more competitive. |
Wow, how horrible :( I hope you are able to find another job soon! |
I'm in sales. It's worked out good for me so far. I was in the computer tech industry with this last job. I should have known that would happen. Call Dell or Microsoft and see who picks up the other end. LOL. It will work out. I refuse to let myself fall. :) |

That was extremely crappy of them. I'm sorry:( Sounds like you'll be just fine, though! Outsourcing jobs to other countries is why the economy is failing. It will backfire on them when their English-speaking American customers can't understand a word:laugh: |
That s*cks. My company did that five years ago. I wasn't hit, but people I managed were, and I didn't find out about it until "the big meeting" when it happened. Did they give you severance at least? |
This seems to be happening all over the place. What is happening? I hope & pray that you will find another good job soon & maybe in the meantime, you can get some rest between job hunting episodes. |

Yes it is exactly why. I hope it does backfire. I remember so many times people commenting on how glad they were that all of us were in America. They wont be getting that anymore when they call. |

I am so sorry it is such a shock. I was laid off without warning after 33 years. But I took early retirement and it worked out. I was able to care for my parents and FIL and nowmy husband without worrying about my work. I hope everything works out for the best! |
That happened to me 2 years ago. The company sold and closed. It is hard and I haven't found anything I like since. I sell insurance so right now I am selling Aflac which is a great company but self-employed so there are no benefits. I hope you enjoy your time off and find something bigger and better. |
I am taking my time while I look. I don't want to jump into anything I will hate. Life is too short. |

I can get away with taking my time for now, but that wont last forever. Hopefully I'll run into something in that time. :confused: It is scary but like I said it always seems to work out somehow. |
wow.. I am so sorry! I wish you the best of luck in your job hunt!! Have faith .. |
I deeply regret that happened to you. How stressful. Best wishes on your new job search. I'm certain you will go onto greener pastures. |
I got a new gig im super duper excited about. I don't want to speak to soon and jinx myself but wish me luck and say a quick prayer for me. I'll return the favor I promise. :):):):) |

Thanks everyone. I will keep you posted. Looking good so far. Yay! Maybe this layoff was a blessing in disguise. I'm hoping so!! :D |
And losing my job didn't even trigger me to smoke!! I never thought that day would come where serious stress I could turn away smoking. Monday will be two months! I wanted to sooo bad and just told myself that smoking wouldn't fix my problems and went on with my day. Telling myself that really did work. Anyone out there struggling with quitting should just remember that. When you run into stress, tell your self that. I can't believe how well it worked for me. :) |
I am so glad you had the strength to stay away from smoking at such a stressful time! I will say a prayer that the job thing works out. |
