Smoke some weed, have a drink and get laid. Then start fresh again and look for another job! Good Luck Buddy.

Sorry to hear about the job, but at least you did know it was coming. All I have to say is wow how do you get paid through march? The average severance pay is usually around 90 days or so.

Sucks to hear man. But don't worry, it could work out for the better. I made a thread back in September about getting laid off and I found a way better job with great people in a closer location. I wish you the same luck, good sir!

Stash some of that away for taxes. I got a PTO payout when I left my last company and uncle sam was all too happy to bend me over because of it.
