Laid (off) on my BDAY!!

Been with the company(s) for 9 1/2 years (two mergers in three years). I knew it was coming for quite some time so it wasn't a shocker but damn, talk about terrible timing

Thanks for the happy bday posts. To thicken the plot I just bought a house less than two months ago!

Buy house, lose job!

Haha, yeah. My dad got laid off a while back and he says he's on "The Obama Plan"

On the bright side, I get severance pay until March (plus a pro-rated bonus and PTO payout) so I definitely have it a lot easier than others! I have a lot of good friends that have been laid off and all they get is a final paycheck
