re: I have a hard deadline of 90 days to find a new job

Hey we all face this in our careers, whatever the career, you can overcome this, it is supposed to be hard, that is why it is called WORK

Sounds like getting rid of your position is the way to make the business run better.


In a way, you did your job.

I know my company wants to keep me around but they probably can’t make a brand new position for me. My manager keeps saying that I need to make myself so valuable they can’t help but create a new position for me.

That's some bullshite.....find another job asap....screw them

So you worked too hard in this case. If you were less successful they may still need you.

well, the company I work for is laying people off at a pretty consistent rate. There’s been 3 rounds of firings since I’ve been there. The economy hasn’t been very good to my sector.

That’s one reason to look elsewhere

haha, nah. I wish.

Didn't like the work I did, despite getting laid off a lot. Didn't make me happy.

You're a sad angry dude.

Fyi I have helped 3 people off of here find work in the past. Not for me so it wasn't to benefit myself but I'll help someone out if I can.

Let me just say this and hope you understand:

I worked in retail, food services, and construction. At the age of 30 I was a "VP of Sales" for a small construction firm with about 10 employees. I was lazy about where I was going, what I was doing and spent more time worried about my truck, my guns,my next hunting trip and my next fishing trip.

Something clicked and I looked out to the future and didn't like where I was headed. I made a complete change of direction and took a huge paycut to about half what I was earning previously to take a job with a small business owner who believed in me. In three years, I tripled his business and was being recognized by major companies. I left and started working nationally. I managed people who ran regions of the country and succeeded where others before me had failed.

Did I experience setbacks? Yes, but you have to have the mindset that it makes you a stronger, tougher competitor. Today, I work one of largest, most innovative manufacturers in the world and I manage our scientific development efforts in partnership with every major defense contractor, such as Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed and Northrop Grumman. I own NASA and SpaceX as my accounts and I really, really like my job and what I do I do very well. I am well and highly compensated and now more financially secure than anyone in my family has ever been, except my dad and uncle, both who made small fortunes on mineral rights.

But its taken hard work, risk taking, perseverence and a commitment to learn physics.

I don't usually talk about this, so I can see how this seems like bragging, but I'm pointing out that you have to think past the next job and think about where you want to be in 25 - 30 years. I'm exactly where I planned to be, but I had to get to the age of 30 before I understood what it would take to get here. You have to be willing to take risks, forego lots of time to study, improve and work late hours. I was fortunate that somebody saw in me the potential to get here, and he told me what I just told you. The American Dream is still alive, but you have to want it, AND earn it.
