re: Post here if you have ever been laid off from a job

Only been laid off once, company was sold off, new company retained only the physical and financial assets, everyone was laid off..... Was given 6 months severance, so I took a couple weeks off to go fishing then back to work for another company.... it's called life outside of being self-employed.

Worked construction, job ended. Younger years, got a better job. I once quit a job twice.

Sorry for nailing the target.

I worked for FedGov from 1989-1999. I was working on really cool stuff until the end of the Cold War. After that I got put on projects that weren't interesting but were stable. I couldn't handle the mundane and quit. I went into the private sector.

I was there 3.5 years and then got laid off when the company pissed off my customer and they cancelled their services. I went with another company about 9 months and left because it sucked.

I then landed my dream job and have been here 22 years.

shite happens for a reason.

Nah. Typically, the folks who spend the most time crying about the deficiencies of others have some serious holes in their lives.

I hope you find what you need to fill them.

Been laid off once. Girded loins and found another job

Right here dude. I have, from Schlumberger. Later this year, I will again but with a VERY generous severance package, and will take a few months off.
