got laid off - HIRED!!!
delalluvia:
Thanks guys. :)
I'm trying to sort through my feelings right now. Have sent out 3 resumes already, will sign my company's CYA separation agreement so I can get my severance pay.
Not in any great condition to do any of the above, but it beats sitting around doing nothing, wondering how I'm going to pay for everything.
I'm thinking I'm anxious and extremely upset over losing the income, not my job. I despised the company I worked for, but liked the people there for the most part.
So I'm not sure why I'm sitting here all teary-eyed. I guess I'm upset about losing the money, more than anything else.

It can be a big trauma, just like the end of any kind of relationship. You spent 2/3 of your waking hours in the same place, with the same people, on the same general endeavor. And now you're suddenly outside it all. Even if you had a lot of issues with the job, a layoff is still a loss.

You certainly have my sympathy. I suspect if you did not see it coming it must have been one heck of a shock. There are lots of us in the same position and it sucks. I hope you have luck in your job hunt. :)

Yeah, it pretty much came out of the blue. There was not even a hint of any layoffs coming. Our last staff meeting had been upbeat and positive with all the additional work from new clients that was upcoming. But apparently "that was upcoming" and not actually in existence is something that always makes the upper management money-shy.
They've done this before, laid off until those left were overwhelmed, just to have to rehire in a couple months time, new people fresh off the street that had to be trained to help with the new workload.
Short-sightedness. Typical of upper management.
