Grrr...lost my job Tuesday - Workforce reduction. My dept company wide is 250, they reduced 40 of us. I have the lowest seniority for engineers so out I go

Anyways, hope everyone else is doing well.

Just thought I'd share because all I do now is sit in front of the computer and wait for email or a phone call.....

 

Yeah, I got dropped due to budget cuts from The Computer History Museum roughly 9 months ago. It really sucked sending out my resume to everything possible, then just sitting around waiting for a call or an email to pop up. The company I'm at is a big ol bag of gay. Good luck on the job hunt man!

 

I was unemployed for a year. I just barely started working at April. It sucked I had to part-out my entire car because my saving was running low.

Good luck finding a new job.

 

sorry to hear

good luck

Poop . sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will find somehting fast. Times are better. Meanwhile enjoy the state unemployment for as much it is worth.


Cheers

Nick

It's a growing epidemic. It will only get worse, not better.

 

Gosh! What a comforting thought.

 

I got Laid off as well, it sux, im able to get by though. we are being replaced by robots, the other day at Mc Donalds I noticed that drinks are pourd into a cup and capped Automatically for the drive thru with a lil robotic arm.

Isn't it expensive capping drinks with robotic arms? Wouldn't it be cheaper just to keep using the plastic lids?

Sorry, no PM.

 

Just sent it now. I'm doing fine for the moment. Hope you hang in there, be patient if possible.
