F*&%^&^% Layoffs

[CarolinaKat]

Well it has happened... again. 7 impacted in my building, and the complany swears that we're done for the year.

On top of that they're taking one of my team members and moving him to 2-2-3-3 Night Shift so we will basically never see him again or have him around. So we're basically going to be running another man down. A coworker moved to a better oppertunity 2 weeks ago and will not be replaced.

So life here is going to suck, and yes I am looking, and unfortunately the job I REALLY wanted didn't pan out.

I'm just glad to hear you weren't laid off.  Sorry you are going to have to work even harder until you find something better.

Kat, sorry to hear this.

Never, ever trust them when they swear "they're done" with layoffs.  BTDT.

Yeah I know, that's what happened at the last company I worked for. The first layoff was small, the second was 60% of R & D

Kat, you still have a job and income while you look. I'm glad you do. Finding a new job while currently employed is a much better thing in the eyes of hiring managers.
