And here we are, almost four years later, and back in the same position. She was let go this morning.
They actually had the balls to look her in the eye and say, "this isn't due to performance, you've done everything we've asked of you and more. But we need to cut overhead so we can pay out bonuses to the shareholders." I wish I was kidding. So here we go again, late in the calendar year, in a shitty economy. Everything in the OP is still accurate, and she now has 3+ years of selling architectural and engineering services on her resume. If anyone, anywhere has a lead, please share. We're open to moving for the right position. ****. |

I wish the best for you and your family. These are bad times for all. This is the way of world these days and it's frightening. I worry for our kids getting their foot in the door in a age where every entry level position is being outsourced to India or China etc.. and every company is only concerned about the bottom line. Good luck. |

Sorry about your situation. Truly. At least, you have family, and that's what matters most, if that's any consolation. |

And damn near 15 months later... She's just accepted an offer. Signed the contract about an hour ago. Found a position with a great architecture/engineering firm located here in STL, with an office at Lake of the Ozarks and thinking of opening offices in KC and Dallas. Paying more than what she was making with her previous company, 100% paid benefits, company credit card - you name it. It's been a rough go, but things are looking good. Best of luck to those of you still looking - your day is coming. |
