got laid off - HIRED!!!
« on: June 30, 2009, 01:02:47 pm »
after nearly 12 years at the salt mines (I thought slaves had to be sold.)  :P

Have become a casualty of the bad economic times and stupid upper management.

I am a statistic.

I will likely be disconnecting my internet services in a few weeks, so FYI in case I disappear.

Shit, I'm so sorry to hear that, Del !

I've read posts you've made about your job, but I never put together what you do, exactly.  What is your line of work?

Crap, Del...I'm very sorry to hear that.  This economy *has* to turn around soon.

I think if we took a survey, the number of us who have been unemployed/underemployed in the last year would be a definite majority.

I - used to - work at a law firm.  Don't recommend it.  Lawyers are cheap bastards.

Sorry to hear Del. I hope you'll find something new (and better even!) soon.

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that.  Unfortunately, it's something we hear far too often.  No such thing as job security anymore.  Best of luck to you!

I'm sorry Del! That's a real kick in the ass, isn't it? I know exactly what it feels like. I will keep my fingers crossed you find a new job very soon!
