Bad Day at Work

[Gargoyle]

Turn a bad thing into a positive. The 2 month severance affords some reasonable time to find another job and not feel compelled to take the first opportunity that crosses your path. Watch the budget and good luck with the hunt!

my first job after college (2006) was a 6 month stint at a heavy equipment factory. Three weeks before christmas they brought all of the new folks and temp employees into a big room and said "see ya". The writing was on the wall for about a month, parts issues had forced a big slowdown in production. They still could've handled it with a bit more tact. Things go that way sometimes.

That really bites!

In case you don't already know, Indeed is a great place to look for new jobs.

[Zoomschwortz]

Good luck to you.

What line of work are you in?

[awsmith4]

Sorry to hear that, good luck on the search

[TonySmith]

Thank you all. I appreciate the good thoughts. I've already started beating the bushs. I am positive that something will turn up.

I can understand why a company wouldn't let anyone know in advance, but it still sucks.

Thanks again for the kind thoughts,
Tony

We were given 2 months severance pay, along with insurance paid up until April 30th, with is pretty good.

I've already stated making calls and emailing resumes.

Wish me luck on getting a job soon.

Thanks,

Tony,

That is crummy. I just want to tell you that you will find something better than what you have today. I've been there and it just hurts. It is not you or about your abilities, its not. I know that guys jobs are so much about who we are. It is not personal, don't take it as such. It just is. Don't settle for the first thing that comes along but find that job that you will love to do. PM me if you would like to consider some options that I know have worked for me in the past.

I'm here for you brother.

I am humbled by the well wishing from the Jungle. I don't know how to fully express my thanks, for the concern shown for a person, known to none of you. This means more than I can say.

Tony
