Unpacking Someday

....and then I lose my job. I got a call today that I'm being laid off in a little less than a month. It seems I'm one of the few in this rash of layoffs who's being asked to stay on past today. I suppose that's a small success. I've never told anyone at this company what this next few weeks means for me. It would be somewhat pointless now, anyway.

Austin on the horizon?
ReplyDeleteThis was the almost-too-good-to-be-true position, wasn't it? Ah, that sucks. I'm sure it's no solace that it was fittingly timed.
ReplyDeleteMichael-- it's not now. I have to get a job, and my connections are here in New York. There's nothing in my field in Austin. Hubby's down there looking for work, staying at his cousin's. All a bit much for me to take in.
ReplyDeleteKeifus, yep. I knew it would be more risky than my last job, read up on the company on one of those employee/ex employee bitching sites. I just didn't think it would happen this fast. I put a bunch of resumes out, decided they sucked, and redid them, and sent them out again already. The recruiters will think I'm nuts. Maybe I am.
That sucks. Maybe some of us can hold an optimistic space for you - if that helps. I have to believe we live in a world that actually values what you do, and so find it possible to be hopeful.
