Laid Off As Of May - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Nighthawk76 · 04-04-2008, 11:59 PM

Due to the popularity of online registration at the college at which I work, the register's office has to lay off three employees...that last three hired. I was the second to last one hired, so as of some time this May I will be out of work. Really wonderful.

Sorry to hear that, hope you find work soon.

Thanks, Jenny. I think I should be able to find another one. I have a really good work record. I'm thankful for that.

Hang in there, Mike. I wish you much good luck.

A good work history and resume always makes a savvy employer sit up and take notice. One thing that has worked for me when I was between jobs was temping. It keeps some $ coming in, gives the day structure, looks good to employers and is an excellent way to network. I bet you land on your feet!

InspectorExstead · 04-05-2008, 01:17 AM

that sucks about your job. =/ good luck with the job hunt. i agree with rich p, you will definitely be noticed with a good work record! hope you find a new job soon!

Janice · 04-05-2008, 04:33 AM

I'm real sorry to hear this, Mike. I'm sure this has you nervous and apprehensive about your future. Rich makes a very good point about temping. It gives both you and your prospective employer time to determine if it's a good fit, for everyone. It gives you a chance to "kick the tires", so to speak.

I don't know if it's too soon for you to hear any kind of talk of a silver lining in every cloud, but I'll give it a shot anyway. Often times, bad things happen in our lives, and they turn our lives around. You know the adage, ~When one door closes, another door opens~

You may find the woman of your dreams at your next job. You may buy a lottery ticket at a nearby store that will change your life forever. You may save someone's life who's choking in the employee cafeteria. More realistically, you may love your next job and move right up the career ladder.

True story, short and sweet. About 25 years ago, my husband found himself unemployed. Down in the dumps, he answered an ad for a restaurant manager. Guess who just happened to be a bartender there? That would be me, and we're celebrating our 23rd wedding anniverary this September.

That's enough philosophical talk about fate for one night. I'm not making light of your job loss, just simply saying that good things often happen, as a result of misfortune. Good luck, Mike.

I am so sorry to hear about your job. It really does suck to get laid off. I know you'll find something else. Something even BETTER!

Chocoholic · 04-05-2008, 10:41 AM

I'm sorry to hear about your job. I hope you find something soon.

It's really sad how many jobs are being lost to technology. Pretty soon, we won't be interacting with other humans at all. It's no wonder people are becoming more antisocial and self-centered.

Mr. Television · 04-05-2008, 10:46 AM

I'm so sorry Mike.

I know you'll find another one. A better one too.

Sorry to hear about that but hopefully something else will come up for you.

Dean Winchester · 04-05-2008, 03:40 PM

I'm really sorry to hear that Mike

Stormtracker TF · 04-05-2008, 04:05 PM

Sorry to hear about that. I'm sure you'll get hired somewhere soon.

Nighthawk76 · 04-05-2008, 04:42 PM

Thanks everyone.

I'm not feeling that bad because as I stated in my previous post, I have a really good work record and I don't think I will have that difficult a time finding a new job.

Janice, that was a beautiful story about you and your husband. Love seems to always come into our lives at the most unexpected moments. Actually, right now I am kind of seeing a girl named Amy who works at the same college as me. My last attempt at a realtionship with a girl turned out to be a total disaster for which I have to take some blame myself. However, looking back now, this girl was the wrong one for me for many different reasons and I think that Amy might be the right one.
