In 34 minutes...
 

...I will officially be unemployed.

poop

Sorry to hear that.

what happened?

Two years ago, they stopped selling the software I support. Now, they no longer support it.

Severence?

Sounds like you had a 2 year notice..?? Are you a developer? I'm looking to hire right now.

Man that sucks.... I hope you get a new job real soon.

Severance (4 weeks), unpaid vacation time (76 hours), and unemployment.

I'm taking a few weeks off for my birthday. :)

Well then today is a happy day!!

Welcome to the darkside.

Nope, just a lowly tier 1 (possibly tier 2) support person. I had been with the company for nearly 12 years. In that tenure, I was a production worker, a supervisor, a HR assistant, an assistant supervisor, a road crew/warehouse manager, and a customer software support person.

I love the Carlton happy dance!

Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can find something even better soon.

That sucks. :( I hope you find something else quickly.

I would completely **** off for the next 10 minutes in protest.

That and take anything that isn't bolted down on your way out. lol

I've been working from home since August.

That will make it all the more easier to do then, won't it? :D

Unemployed!

Sorry Luv. Are you still going to school?

Well, at least your loyalty got you a few extra paychecks... I never would have made it that far, but then again I've never stuck around more than a couple of years at one place.

How much longer until you finish school? Any ideas what you want to do until then?

Sry to hear that. Good luck in your future endeavors.

So sorry to hear this luv. Keep your chin up. Something better will come along.

Oh, and whats with the username change? Did I miss something? Appears to be Mod abuse :D

I wonder which thread you could read in order to find clues to this mystery... :shrug:

Heh, I forgot about the Mod abuse thread when I posted this.

So have long have you known this was coming? Good luck on the schooling.

Buy a couple of bottles of wine, break out the Rabbit, and forget about it for the evening.

Sorry to hear it. Pretty smart move getting back into school.

Good luck, kiddo.

I'm in need of some help. Do you have any experience , ummmm pleasuring animals.

ROFL:clap:

I wouldn't. I'd get right back into the job market. It could take you 6, 12, 24 months to find something. This economy is frightening.

That's actually a good point. My wife and I have been flabbergasted by the Springfield job market. We're about to start truck driving over it.

Hope all is well Luv... I sure wish I had an opportunity for you here in OKC... I would offer you a job if I had one open....

I hope the best for you.

my mother-in-law has been out of work for the better part of three years. granted, part of that was taking time to care for her mom (alzheimer's) and not seriously looking, but the job market here is...bad.

Seriously, I would start looking right now. You will have a few weeks off whether you want it or not. I was unemployed until just recently, I got lucky and got hired a few weeks before the money ran out. Otherwise I probably would have lost my house. Unemployment doesn't last forever, you have to plan for the worst in this economy. I don't want to see anybody lose their place or have to sell their car [or live out of their car] because they couldn't find work.

I finish getting my Legal Assistant certificate in 37 weeks. 67 until I am a Paralegal.

I'd love to get into a law firm as a secretary or file clerk or something just to get my foot in the door.

Went out with a friend tonight. I have a bottle of South Australia Grenache called Bitch waiting.

What happened to your name? I liked Makesluv2manyplaneteers better.

I changed it back (though if you'd like to keep it, just let me know). :)

Nah, I'm good with just luv. :)

Yep... better to take even just 2-3 hours a day now and get a start on it than wait too long. Every opening you don't see today could very well be filled in a few weeks.

Cool... yeah, that would be perfect, and it would be a nice advantage to show them why you want to work there and be able to show them that you're already working on moving up in the company before you even get the job.

There's that, and the fact that not too many prospective employers in unrelated fields are going to be real thrilled with the idea of hiring someone who is likely going to be moving on in a year. That's what worries me about her situation.

Damn, that company has really worked you over the last few years. Sure hope you find something soon. Good luck!!!

Good point... a lot of jobs that require some sort of experience won't even let you move around the company for a year to 18 months so they don't waste the time and money training you, so they wouldn't bother in that situation.

Looks like a good chance to pack up, get a house with a couple of people in KC, and take advantage of a larger job market and a shorter drive to Chiefs games. :D

Know anyone looking for a roommate?

I am

Yes I do. His name is Bozo1970. :)


Seriously though, if that's really the only thing keeping you from moving, it wouldn't be that hard to find someone... I see posts at work from people needing roommates fairly often and could give you their contact info, there's Craigslist (you could find/contact them online, then plan meetings around Chiefs games), ChiefsPlanet, kansascity.com.

But, to answer your question, not anyone personally at the moment.

Damn, Luv. I'm very sorry to hear that. Did you get laid off?

Hang in there Luv-something will fall your way!!

Good luck, kiddo.

Since you have nothing better to do, go make me a damn sammich!
