Well, crap.
 

Got fired from my job this afternoon due to "budget cuts". ****, ****, ****ity ****. Anyone have any GOOD news while I drink the afternoon away?

I just saved 15% on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

But seriously, did you get fired, or laid off?

Wow, sorry to hear that SEK....for what it's worth I'll pray for something to pop up quickly. Any kind of severance/security net going for you?

Was the Holiday Inn Express closed?

I asked that, he said that the earliest there'd be a CHANCE at a callback would be like in May. I count that as a firing.

natty light is on sale at pour boys.

Paid me thru the end of the month (woo hoo! :rolleyes:). Already filed for unemployment; I won't start looking till Monday.

Sorry to hear that man. I sent you some casino cash.....go drink and gamble it away to kill time.

Sucktacular SEK ChiefsFan. What do you do?

I was the VP of Operations for a group of radio stations. I've already started using my network to see if there's anything shaking; there may be a possibility or two.

Thanks man. Maybe I'll practice up & become a pro poker player! :D

F'k that! March into the ofc and demand that they rehire u and pay u to stay home and fight w/ other grown men. Then once he calls and hangs up w/ security, start punching yourself in the face. Get all bloody and make sure to wreck the place. Then when security enters, beg the boss man to not hit u anymore. :D

Seriously though, that really sucks Sek. I wish u the best!

Sorry to read that.
Here’s to a short unemployed spell. :toast:

I am Jack's smirking revenge.

Sorry to hear this. Well, file your unemployment, and pound the pavement. I've been doing it since March. Good luck.

Sorry to hear that. That sucks. Feel free to punch the first person that tells you this is actually an opportunity to do something better.
Sean Salisbury's meltdown story on Deadspin.com can maybe make you laugh for a minute.

Sorry to hear SEK.Lots of people seem to be going through this; sorry you’re now part of the statistics.
Do what I did; take a week off; catch up on sleep; gather your thoughts et…then hit the bricks for a job.

took me 6 months to find a job. That sucked.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR ****ING KHAKIS! :D

Thanks all! Please ignore any drunk posting I may do later on. Or at least don't hold it against me. :D

I remember an episode of Cheers when Norm walks into the bar and says in a deadpan, "Great, I'm unemployed", and someone says, "Sorry to hear that", and he says, "No- great! I'm unemployed! Gimme a beer."

This sucks to hear since I have been trying to get into radio sales. Sorry to hear that SEK.

Good luck in finding something new. Well wishes sent your way.

Change you can believe in?

Good luck man, i'm sure something will turn up soon

Move to STL.

The sports-talk stations are ALWAYS hiring.

Sorry to hear SEK! Good luck in the job market and hope something comes your way soon!!

Sorry to hear that sek, i'm looking for a job too.

Thanks for all the well-wishes, rep & casino cash. I'm sure it'll all be ok eventually.

Gives you more to be on here.:D

Sorry to hear.

I got a job offer for 1.5 times my current salary. I'd say that's good news. Sorry for you though...

ROFL But this isn't a funny situation....best of luck to you man. These are hard times.

just like a porno directer coming into the dressing room "it's hard out there"

WTF would you need a dressing room for in a porno? And I'm getting drunker. Or more drunk. Whatever.

Sorry to hear it man.

Meh. Shit happens. May already have a line on something locally. Thank God for networking.

You were a VP? That's a big salary to lose if it pays like a VP in my company ($150K+).

Damn man sorry to hear the news,sounds like you need to go ahead and rsvp for the bash and just spend a weekend away getting hammered.

Are you drunk enough to think this is hawt?

nope my day has sucked as well

Good luck man...

I'm pulling for ya.

Good luck to you man. VP jobs are hard to replace

Actually, It may be kinda nice to get back to the basics, y'know?

Well, to follow up, I finally had a promising interview today; second interview coming later in the week. Knocking on wood.

Wrong you didn't do anything wrong don't refer to it as being fired.You were laid off like millions of us have. My thoughts are with you in this tough time.

Good for you! I'm still looking. The job market is shit right now.

Sorry to hear the bad news. Guess you weren't one the jobs saved by the Stimulus.

Good luck, Bob Dobbs. ****ity, ****, ****,****!

Hoping that we all can get to doing something that we like to do, and get paid well enough for it!

Good luck. Hopefully it turns out for you.

I know what your going through.

Just to follow up, I FINALLY got an offer today from the Post Office. Assuming I pass all their medical assessment stuff (no reason I shouldn't), I'll be employed again!

get to use your tech 9 once more

Congrats bud. Good for you.

Congrats, dude. Good luck with the new gig!

So you went from one job that's losing money to another job that's been in the red for years.


hope everything turns out well.
