Layoffs
 

Man I hate that word. It looks like my company may be laying off some people. I think my friend just got laid off. I haven't had a chance to talk with him yet though.

I'm all paranoid. I've been throgh this before and didn't come out on the winning edge if you know what I mean. Guess its time to prep the resume & cover letter. *sigh*:paranoid:

Well shit. They just took 2 more people in "the room".

This really isn't lookin' good. And my friend did get laid off.;( Only cool person that worked here.....*sigh*

Just hope you don't get your ass booted! :no:

dude, that totally sucks...
just hang in there..it'll be alright...:yes:

well mate if you do get booted just remember it could lead to bigger and better things.

What industry are you working in?

Just out of interest, why do people think its so hard to find a job? Seems to me that jobs are easy to come by.

:yes: :yes: ^^

it's really not that easy...once you graduate from HS it gets way harder to get a job...unless you work at a fast food chain or grocery store or something...

Computer/IT Industry....
Its not that easy to find a job. I've been looking for a while.:paranoid:

wow come up to canada ... i heard there looking like mad for people with computer skills and whatnot...in any field

Alright so what job boards do you guys know of? I think I've worn out my choices....

www.monster.com
www.flipdog.com

I was trying to find some city, county or government work.;) Those guys get paid mad cash.

I can't think of any other sites off the top of my head....

The IT field is sooo hard to get into...It tool me almost 11 months to score an IT job....Good luck and I hope your not the one to go!

here's one I've been looking at....

www.careerbuilder.com

and I know what you mean, the computer/technical field is extremely competetive right now....I have a little over a year left in my enlistment in the AF and am thinking about getting out but the job market seems a little shaky right now........

My sister just got layed off today....Her and 3 other co-workers...I know why they fired my sister cuz shes a trouble maker but the other 3 people have been working there for 12 years...why would u do that to them...it makes no sense to me...

i hope you won't get into "the room"

Its all about $$$.

Well I didn't go in it today. The 'rumor' is that there's more coming. I shouldn't really be too worried. I mean hell I'm cheap labor(underpaid like a mofo) and well I'm the only real IT guy there. But you never know.

it will be alright dude. from what i see you are a smart guy and you will figure yourself a way out of trouble.

Yeah I need to finish my damn MCSA cert at least. sheesh....

Ain't that the truth..........good jobs/good paying jobs are hard to come by and even harder to hang onto these days.......

Theres always Mcdicks!! SMILE!!! lol ;) ;) :no: :o

Yeah I did my fast food community service. That's not happening again.:crazy:

Well the final tally is they axed 2 and moved one.
Got rid of our HR Director position and moved that guy to an HR Manager position in a plant. Axed my friedn and one of our Engineering Managers.

We had a 'meeting' this morning. Just to let everyone know what happened. Get this. The VP said "We have more [layoffs] planned but we don't forsee them happening". What the hell kinda message is that? You might get fired, but we aren't sure yet?

So if any of you are hiring Admins.....:crazy:

Thats thier way of telling you, go find a new job so we wont feel so bad for laying you off..:o

Lol....yeah that's about right...

damn that sucks man...good luck though...you're gonna need it.

best of luck in this situation. flashbacks of office space right now....

Yep I'll be watching that tonight

u can come work for my dads restaurant...lol its a pizza place!! FREE PIZZA FOR EVERYONE!! heh ;) ;) :yes: :rambo:

LOL!
Man that'd be one hell of a commute to work.:crazy:
