  • Well... today sucked.
    FYI: This had nothing to do with me as an employee. This was strictly a business decision made by the company to downsize.

    You'll do great man. I was laid off last year. It is not fun at all. I was able to find a job that paid me more a week after being laid off. It may not look like it now, but sometimes these things are a blessing in disguise.

      Hi jj. My husband got laid off at 59 years old. Said it was they were getting rid of his position. Mind you this is labor work. But in the long run it was the best thing that ever happened. I was still employed so that helped. About 2 months after that we found out they didn't get rid of his position.

    JJ, my husband and I went through a rough time when he lost his job in 2010. I went into survival/crisis mode. LUCKILY, we live way below our means, have a VERY low mortgage, have an emergency account and we’re able to make some additional cutbacks. My husband was so bummed out and felt like he let me down. It was actually a blessing in disguise, he was working a TON of hours and it was killing him. Now that it is 2019, it seems like such a minor blip. We now are making more with our jobs and still living with a low budget. We travel and donate like crazy. We love our life and are grateful the only debt that we have ever had is our mortgage. YOU are such a smart, practical and extremely motivated man. I wish you much success! ❌⭕️❌⭕️ Penni

    You've got our support, for what it's worth. I know how difficult news like this can be. But I have this feeling that losing your job, though it's a hardship, at least temporarily, it may be the very thing that opens you up for that something else that may be waiting- something that may have needed you to be available. You have prepared for this. It doesn't take away from how much this sucks right now. But it is the pin light that shines through that dark moment. And it's real...just as real as the emotions you are experiencing right now. Prayers and Peace for you and your family moving forward.

    This really hits home man and I had a panic attack a year ago and decided to get my finances in order to protect against this very thing. Since then, I've paid down all credit cards, paid off a car, built a healthy savings, and got investments going very strong. Working on paying off the house quickly now too. I guess what I'm trying to say is that people think this personal finance stuff is BS, but in actuality it protects you and acts as insulation from what life can throw at you. This situation that happened to you is a great example of that. Keep doing what you're doing and spreading the good word. Try to find other work, but also scale up your UA-cam...people make a killing on here. Keep fightin man.

    Yeah man, I feel ya. This just happened to me on Monday, except it was in the afternoon as I was leaving. My boss pulled me aside and told me that it was going to be my last day. That has never happened to me before. She said she likes me but she can't keep me. To be honest the why is still a bit fuzzy. Luckily I'm finishing school at the end of the month and am interviewing for a new job. Having the rug pulled from underneath you like that, it's hard. I will do everything that I can do to avoid having that feeling again. You are very smart and good luck on your job search. P.S. I just subscribed.

    Amen. That exact same thing happened to me years ago. I was completely blindsided. There were rumors of layoffs in other depts but not in mine. I vowed that I would never let myself be put in that position ever again. To be dependent on a company or the government for my income. To be at their mercy. Fast forward 10 years, I got fed up with my 9-5 and was able to walk away from it because I had paid off all my debt and had an emergency fund. Greatest feeling in the world!
