Bad Day at Work
Went to work today and was told the main guy from Houston was going to talk to us. Well, he did around noon. Everyone was terminated and the doors were shut. It was unexpected, but what can you do?

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

Re: Bad Day at Work
That sucks royal, man. You are the third person I have heard that happen to in the past week. Sounds like an okay severance, the insurance part is really good. With your positive attitude, I'm confident that things will soon be back on track.

But I'm thinking good thoughts for you anyway

Re: Bad Day at Work
Man, I am so, so sorry to hear that.
Don't even want to imagine that feeling.
Good luck to you hunting for work.
Two months is so little to rely on.
Hopefully you hook up fast.
Keep your head up.
