Well, this sucks

I got laid off today. The company is cutting out a technical department, so they had to axe an overheard person too. That was me. I'd appreciate any job dust you could send.

Re: Well, this sucks

  • Sorry to hear the news.  Nice of them to do it just in time for the holidays...

    We should start a Unemployed J'09 Club.  I'm sooo right there with you.

  • Holy crap, Mames! That sucks! I can't believe they did that!  Lots of dust and luck your way!
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • Thanks guys. 

    I'm still in shock. One of the biggest reasons I even took this job was b/c it was more secure than my family-owned no growth position. I thought this would be the start of my career with a solid company. I just got in the line of fire somehow. Unreal.

    I've already applied for one job so far, and another soon. I wanted a vacation, but not this way. :(

  • Aw, mames, I'm sorry. I know how excited you were about this job and how hard it was for you to leave the other one! Try and think of it like this: if this didn't work out, it's only because there's something bigger/better you're supposed to be doing instead.

    Lots of job dust coming your way for the RIGHT job!

  • thanks SBS. I was excited about some of the work I was doing and everything I was learning about my field, but there were things I didn't like too. So maybe it is a blessing and I'll find somewhere I love. If anything I'm leaving with a lot of knowledge and recommendations from my director and VP.

  • Ouch Mames, I am so sorry to hear the news.  That is such a bummer.  Sending lots of job dust your way.  Hopefully something better will pan out for you soon.

  • Oh no, Mamie!  That sucks!  I am so upset for you.  I'm sure you'll find something soon, but still.  What a bummer.
  • So sorry to hear this! Lots of job dust being sent your way.

    Although I am somewhat selfishly happy that you'll be able to nest more now. I have to make it through my last final on the 14th and then I might be a total PW too.

  • that truly sucks!  Sorry to hear this, major job dust your way :)

    I'm oddly comforted that you're selfishly happy. Let's virtually hang out while all those employed people ... work.

    Confession: This was totally my second thought after "OH NO! That totally sucks!" This is how the scene played out --

    Me (reading the original post): OH NO! That totally sucks! Well, I mean, I guess it's kinda cool that she'll be back on The Nest again more, especially since I'm unemployed/out of school as of next Friday and I have NO idea what to do with myself. No, that's a terrible thought! Bad Colette! Now write a nice, comforting message and DO NOT MENTION how evil and selfish you are.

    But then you posted it anyway, so now I get to comment. Smile

     Haha. It's okay. I'm all about silver linings right now, and if daytime nesting is one of them, so be it. High five for the unemployed crowd! We'll be sure to shake up J9 again!

  • So sorry to hear this Mamie. Sending lots of job dust and vibes your way.

  • I am so, so sorry to hear this Mames. Sending you the best positivity and job dust I can muster!
  • Ahh, that sucks.  So sorry Mames!  Try to keep your head up, and sending job dust your way.
  • Aww that completely sucks Mames -- sending you lots of job dust.  While it would suck to get laid off right before the holidays at least you have stuff going on and plenty of time to do it now. 
  • Oh, soooo sorry!  Lots of job dust headed your way!
  • So sorry Mames! My job dust isn't the best, but I will still send it along!!!
  • Oh man!  That's awful!  I'm so sorry.  Definitely sending job dust your way.  If you need me to review your resume or anything, feel free to shoot it my way!
  • Thanks, M. I may. I'm doing a huge custom submission for a job today (which megs graciously has helped me with!) and I could use a set of eyes on it before I send.
