I actually did a few hours of work yesterday! I didn't get paid for it, but it's a start!

I just discovered this thread. I lost my job at the end of February, and am searching for something, but so far nothing. I've applied to dozens of jobs, and get nothing in return. Actually I did have one interview a couple of weeks ago, but they gave the job to someone else. I worked for a land development company, and business is just so slow around here, they told me they had to let one of us go: me, in my mid 50's, or my co-worker - the 21 year old blond, shapely, pretty young thing. Being that most of my co-workers are middle aged males, guess who they let go? Not the 21 year old. They let me go - the one with the 30 years' experience doing this type of work, and who has seniority over the 21 year old. It's just not fair, and it's scary out here without a job! Just venting. Thanks for listening you all.

That's poop, Dobie1018. It sounds like discrimination. Had you been with that particular company longer than she?
I'm sorry to hear it and wish you the best of luck in getting a new job. I heard a report on the radio today telling about all the people who'd been laid off--and a large percentage are finding jobs--and several of those have found jobs that pay more than the ones they were laid off from. Let's hope that's the case for you!
