I was just laid off. Hopefully it's a blessing in disguise because I will be getting severance while I look for a new job and can start pioneering sooner than expected.
aw frest im sorry! *hugs*
you know i really didn't expect to be this upset, but i really enjoyed working there and the people i work with.
awww frest. i'm so sorry. were layoff's expected?
at 8:30 this morning a meeting was emailed out with the president of our division that would be held at 9 am. he announced that 100 people would be laid off. it was always a possibility with the business doing so poorly, but never expected to be that large-scale. he's new and had a reputation at his previous jobs of doing this so it shouldn't be such a suprise.
awww im so sorry.
Egg him.
I'm sorry, I know you were just mentioning how everyone there missed you the other day how friendly they all are.
I also hope it's a blessing in disguise, I'm SURE it will prove to be!
Chin up ;)
I'm so sorry! For how long will you get the severance?
well i have two options: 3 weeks full pay + lump sum + benefits through the end of the month OR salary continuance + benefits through january 24th
Well that's not bad. :|
I'm suprised it is that accomodating since I only went full-time this past February. I have a feeling my managers did whatever they could to hook me up because they were very supportive of my full-time ministry goal.
Wow! Even if it wasn't your managers, you know Jehovah's supporting you!
well that sucks, i hope you find new job soon.
me too. i'm feeling overwhelmed, but i'm glad i'm fully moved into my parents house so i don't have rent/living expenses to worry about while i look for a new job.
What kind of work do you do?
To be honest, I don't have a specific skill set. My two main jobs I've had were Account Management (setting up mobile phone lines for businesses and being the middle-man for them with the cell carriers) and this one was Marketing (primarily web-site content maintenance). I have kind of just relied on my charm and willingness to learn to get the job done.
ah man, i'm sorry. :(
that stinks!! that company really is going down the crapper
although they sell crappers so that may be considered a good thing.
i'm really sorry forreste, at least you get severance, gives you time to find something else which i'm sure you will.
Yeah, not all companies give out severance. So that is good.
thanks, matt. hey! i just realized i get to go out during the week now for the remainder of the tract campaign. :)
lol double whammy
