Title: Bad news does come in 3's
Post by: wissler on November 18, 2012, 12:55:00 AM
Well,
In another post I spoke of:
1. Falling out of my treestand(thank the lord I was strapped in)Just a little bruised up
2. Crashing my Jetta into a tree @ 10mph causing $5500 in damage
But #3 is the killer
3. Getting laid off due to the company being in financial turmoil. I was the 2nd to be let go. Some Production employees are on 32 hours. They eliminated my position as Process Engineer.

Well
Now, only better things can happen right?

Oh man, keep positive.  
Sorry to hear the bad news.  Then again. Maybe it's just good news in disguise.  Better opportunity awaits!

Remember: You can't stop the waves. But you can learn how to surf.

Man I can relate, similar thing have happened to me. Just have faith and focus on all the positive things in life that you have been blessed with. You got your health, You can probably draw unemployment and you have more time to hunt.
I am sure you will find another job. Love hard and love life and your friends. It will work out.LCH

It seems like I heard many stories like this right after the election. Many companies were waiting for election results  to be looking ahead and brace theirself for what they think is to come.
I really am tired of worry, they cut us back for the last year then decided to give management back their 10% cut. I elected to stay with my emploree's and remain cut. I really hate to hear it for you and the Irish in me wants to fight back.    Tim in NC

Sorry to say, you won't be alone in the big CHANGE. I have 2 friends that have their own company's that are going to shut their doors and lay off their employees due to Obama Care. This is only the beginning!!

If there ever was a "shoulda,coulda,woulda" in your career path now may be the time. Make a plan and go for it.
Best of luck to you.

How many stories do we hear about a guy getting laid off or released from a good job only to find out it was the best thing to happen because ..... this may well be the beginning of your success story.

Sorry to hear, best of luck.

Allow yourself to grumble a bit! It helps with the mind. However remember that family and friends are more important. Allow them into your life as much as you can and share life with them. It is how I got through such things in recent times.

Here is how my wife looks at situations like this, I'm still trying to see it her way ;-)
1) You didn't break anything
2) At least you weren't going 50
3) There are better managed companies out there that will value your skill set.

Good luck bro.

Best of luck Wissler,  it's a rough time right now, espeacially for small businesses, lots of people don't get it.  I work for a small biz along with many other companies and we were told prior to the election, that if Obama gets re-elected then there could be huge layoffs, paycuts and the possibility of the CEO taking the company back to his home country and it seriously looks like the latter is what's happening here.  I wish you the best of luck finding a new job. I know a lot of people in the same boat, and contrary to what some may say,  the job market isn't there and it's only going to get worse,  keep your head up and stay strong.
