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!

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.

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

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!

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

The good thing about bad days is...

they make the normal days in between kick ass!

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).
