Have you gotten laid off? How did you take it?

[Sour-rose]

Sooo i went to my job for a while, and i come back on Friday. Just recently. Back home anyways, where my mail is. I see my mail. Car insurance threatening to cancel my service if I don't pay up, life insurance, life insurance, life in- Oh, a letter from my job. Wonder what's it abou-

We're getting a mass layoff. We will all be out of a job in June. I just said to a guy I can pay for the room and now... this sum bullshi-

In a way, I'm glad. It now makes me feel good to know I didn't give them my 100%, because they didn't deserve it. And they said the employees with good standing will probably be hired by the next cargo company. I... go fk ya self. Good riddance.

Sooo had such a situation?

Sooo went in this morning to confirm that this layoff isn't a bunch of bullshit with their name- it is for real. Asked the security guy and said "Yeah, (company) is done, and gonna be switched with other company. Soo if you wanna work with them, you have to do it with them and it'll take more processing."

So in a word, I'm laid off officially. :)

It depends on which time we're talking about. Usually it was because I was being laid off due to the company didn't have enough money to pay it's employee's.
If I was married at the time I wouldn't panic because he still had money coming in.
If I got laid off and wasn't married I was so stressed out all the time.
Under Title I put Professional Joe Interviewee. I went on so damn many interviews it wasn't funny.
The reason being is that I am not bilingual - I can only speak English, and every company I interviewed with needed bilingual.
Finally after 14 months of my job search, I found a company that had only white people - so I got the job! Yeah!!!

Firstly, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope you find another job soon. But yes, I have been laid off. It was due to budget cuts.

It saddens me to hear that your company unfortunately is doing a mass layoff & unfortunately a lot of companies are doing the same as well. In addition it somewhat but not really saddens me to hear you are losing your job in the upcoming month. I’m pleased hear that you already said your good riddance to your company & pleased to hear that you didn’t give them 100% as well. I’m pleased to hear that employees in good standing will probably be hired by the next cargo company & I wish them & you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
