So I got fired today, such a pain in the ass. The person didn't even do it in person, she did it over the phone. The company I worked for is based out of NY so they decided to close the Houston office and give us a kick in the ass. This is so damn frustrating!!! Sorry to waste a thread, I just had to vent, calmly.
It sounds like you didn't get fired but laid off so you can still draw unemployment. My advice is go out and have a few drinks with your co-workers to commiserate, take some time to relax and unwind for a week and then start your new job search. GOOD LUCK!
Dude, that sucks. Didn't even have the balls to face you guys. You should go postal and blow up their office.
Every person needs to get fired once in their life. You were just chosen inexplicably at this moment. "For every door God closes, He opens a window"
Sorry to hear that, man. Did you have any warning whatsoever? I got laid off last month, but I still have a job (training the idiots in Amarillo who are taking our jobs) until October, so we have plenty of time to figure out Plan B. I'm also getting a hefty retention bonus and 6 weeks severence. Hang in there, man. It happens to a LOT of people. After a while, you may see this as a blessing in disguise.
Sounds like you got laid off, not fired. Better to put laid off as the reason when you interview for your next job.
Remember when you told your friends "I wish I had the time to try skydiving and visit Amsterdam to party w/ some hookers." Well this is fate's way of telling you "Go for it!"
Thanks for the encouraging words guys, means alot. And I actually hadn't even thought about the whole filing for unemployment thing. How does that work?
Sorry to hear about that bladeage. Like the other guys mentioned, you may wanna look into unemployment benefits unless you happen to have something lined up already.
well that's annoying. you're telling me bladeage could've just walked out the door but God is making him crawl out a ****ing window? what a jerk.
When I'm in between jobs I always remember how important to tell the ladies "I'm retired" when asked what I do for a living...
Sorry to hear that bladeage. Just got a job after a six month vacation from employment. Of course, the boss is trying to force all of us into quitting so we won't qualify for unemployment, but that's another story. Anyway, hit a happy hour, sleep in late for a few days, then start checking chron.com and monster.com.
and the WORST part, is that I probably won't be able to get playoff tix for the first game with Dave and the clutchies !!
