Wish me luck

I got laid off this morning. It sucks, and two weeks severance isn't going to get me too far...

Anyway, I do have something brewing already, and I'll keep you all posted.

But please, any prayers will be most helpful.


They really are, in case you didn't know it.. : )

Already said a prayer. Awful news, and two weeks severance seems paltry. How long did you work there? I really hope that whatever you have brewing pans out.

Sorry to hear this. 2 weeks sucks. Around here, I know that people get around 8 weeks.

How did it go down?

Found out a couple Fridays ago that my office is closing on December 10. They hooked us up with a resume review/job counseling company, so that was nice. 3 weeks severance and $1500 retention bonus if I stay til the termination date.

Fun times.

Good grief. Just before Christmas/Hanukkah . Nice, but at least they gave you a decent warning.

When we were closing one of our divisions a couple of years ago, we gave our drivers about 10 mos. notice and offered a $5K bonus if they stayed for the duration. I was surprised how many didn't last that long.

Hope everything works out, prayers.
