I Just Got Fucking Laid Off!

[JCOOK]

Well about an hour ago I was told that after being with the same company for five years (Worked my way up from entry level to operations manager) that I was being "let go" due to downsizing.

Upside: More time to spend with the army
Downside: Next stop window"E"

THE FEW THE PROUD THE UNEMPLOYED!

[Guitar Shark]

Sorry man. Still voting for Bush?

[JCOOK]

YEP! Not his fault.

[Rikk]

I'm sorry, JCOOK. That truly sucks. These are tough times, but don't let it hurt the ego the way laying off can sometimes do. Just remember it doesn't say a thing about you. You'll pick yourself back up right away.

Sucks, dude. Hope you're all right.

[Splooge]

Don't fakking sign anything till we talk!!!!!

[Cathedral]

Been there, done that....NAFTA was my killer. :(

Dude, sorry to hear about your day. That sucks a big one but, on the other hand, you now have an opportunity to do better.

When one door shuts, another one opens.

I'm sending you my best Mojo right now, Good Luck!

[JCOOK]

Thanks guys,I got a pretty decent severance package + two weeks vacation pay and my wife makes good money, I got a case of beer, a bag of weed,hell who knows maybe I'll kick roys' ass and take over until Daves' ready! Besides someone has to keep an eye on Ford for a while.

If its become an import-based economy may I suggest 2 things that helped me earn my first gajillions:

- partnering with other ebayers to buy foreign products to split the shipping of overseas containers
- Chinese for Dummies
- Korean for Dummies

[TongueNGroove]

Yer boss probably found out you hate Sammy.

The good thing about bad days is...

Don't give up! You'll okay. Other companies will see and appreciate your persistence (At least, if this is the country I still hope it is).

cool to know. shitty about the gas price! I guess its expensive everywhere except Iraq? :D Its .90 cents/ltre here(Canada)
Sounds like a very nice place to live though. 12,000 people? Thats cozy! I love small towns.

[JCOOK]

Again I thank all of you for your support Im' high as a kite and got VHII going. Not looking for sympathy but It really was weird.

[ELVIS]

Maybe they figured out you're a lazy dope head...;)

[tobinentinc]

As long as you have the experience and credentials, you will have no problem finding a job.

[YAWN]

That sucks ass, man. Glad to see you're not lettin' it kick yer tail, though, dude. Take a couple weeks to yourself and enjoy some family time. Fuck it; life gives ya lemons, you make a line of fuckin' Red Bull & Jager shots and tell the lemons to go fuck themselves!!!

Good luck, buddy... I'm sure everything'll work out just fine.

[JCOOK]

Hey Elvis maybe you're right may be if I stop smoking weed and.....
Fuck that shit!

[bueno bob]

I know your pain, dude. Microsoft sent my job out to India because somebody out there was willing to do what I did for $5 an hour...been sitting on my ass ever since looking for non-existant opportunites...

:rolleyes:

Of course, I can blame good ole Bill Gates for that, greedy bastard :)

Good luck with the job hunt.

[scorpioboy33]

Hey guys ...Rolled into the "Inbred Empire"a couple hours ago (Thats where a certain fat retarded toothless hillbilly that fronts a band that used to be called Mamoth is from.) This place sucks,but I'm spending q.t.with my family.......Sorry about the use of q.t.

[ODShowtime]

Jcook, normally I'm not one to discourage rolling fatties, but maybe you want to be a little low-key while you look for jobs. They all think it's their business what's in your blood stream these days...

Anyway, keep your head up.

[ThrillsNSpills]

Hmmm.....you didn't work for Sammy's road crew, did ya?


sorry. good luck bro. Chin up

You should be telling us all that you got Laid instead of talking about getting Laid Off from your Job.

What the fuck do you know about a job, other than you don't have one?

YOU should be telling your wife you got one after you actually go out and get one. or does that interfere with your drinking schedule?

You're pathetic dude.

[Nickdfresh]

I am sorry to here that dude 'cause I'm in the same boat. Losing your job sucks but unemployment is goooood! Keep your head high.

[JCOOK]

Thanks guys like I said I got a pretty decent severance package ...and my wife is VERY supportaive just because things I've done for her in the past.I haven't had a vacation in five years, this after working twelve to forteen hours a day.This is still America, if you apply yourself day in and day out you can't help but make it!

[JCOOK]

Besides the BCE has told me I have to keep my eye on FORD for a while.
