Laid Off yesterday

Was wrapping up my monthly and quarterly project final reports at the end of the day, and my office manager asked me to come to his office for a quick meeting. I thought nothing of it as its pretty routine to do so...to talk about the financial health of various projects, revene, earned value etc.

Took my notes in there with me, then he says "well, I wish this was a meeting for good news , but it's not unfortunately". Handed me a termination letter and we talked for a good 45 minutes.

The layoff wasn't performance related, but rather a result of us not getting awarded several new contracts as anticipated etc. so corporate, in Virginia, started making decisions.

Good news, I suppose, was he said he will write a recommendation letter, or speak to anyone about my work. Also he said he was confident a lot of our Project Managers I supported would do so as well.

He said he appreciated my attitude on the situation. I wrapped up a few loos ends for my PMs before o left. Luckily, I get two weeks severance. Not a lot, but Better than nothing. When I was laid off in 2008, I didn't get jack. And that sucked.

I guess it's the nature of the beast in a project based environment.
Oh well. Happy Friday the 13th for me. Uhhhg.

Anyone know of anyone in need of a project controller?

Man, sorry to hear for the both of you. My best advice is to go get a job as a maintenance guy at a HUD property somewhere. Not the greatest paying but with the way those lowlife ****ers tear shit up I know my job isn't going anywhere.

Had a kitchen fire in one unit last Monday. There are rumors that it was set intentionally. Oh, and there was a homicide in the same unit last June.

Lots of domestic violence issues too. Doors kicked in, holes punched into walls and doors, and I found a spot in a recent move-out where it looked like someone's entire body was thrown into a wall. Cops are there on a regular basis as well.

Good ****ing times.

Luck has something to do with it, but I think it has a lot more to do with you than luck. JMO

Sorry to hear about your current situation. Hope things get right for you soon.
Do you have a degree? The reason I am asking is because some of those jobs sound a lot like things I will be doing when I get my degree in Business Finance.

I had my position "eliminated" last June, on my birthday even! So much for loyalty, I had been there for 18 years. The project I worked on was being phased out but I had always thought they would move me on to another project.

Reduction in force.

Bob Dole had to RIF someone last September. Much harder conversation to have than any firing has been.
