Well folks, I'm getting laid off. |
|
:grr: The company I do contracting work for is "furloughing" (their word) a bunch of people for six weeks.
This is not good and I feel terrible right now. Kinda shell shocked because I just got told that today is my last day until Oct 3..... maybe.
*sigh* I'm too depressed to cry.

2. So sorry to hear that, "super" |
|
That sucks! Been there, done that, hated it.
You'd think something with the word "laid" in it would be more fun!

21. Instead of "laid" it should be "screwed"! |

8. I'm sorry...I can relate |
|
I hope you land something else. While you're still technically employed by this outfit, don't waste time before looking around.
I used to think I only needed to look for a job when I lost one. Now I realize that in order to stay one step ahead of the hammer I gotta look for a job while I still got one, because anyday they can just kick you out the door.
Keep your spirits up. It happens to everyone.

being without a job and being single is definitely scary. But I've been here before.
