THIS STINKS. I WAS ON VACATION THE WEEK AFTER JULY 4TH, AND AS EXPECTED, I CAME BACK TO A FLIPPEN MESS. NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THERE, SO I COPE.

HOWEVER, ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON, MY BOSS DRAGS ME OFF TO HIS BOSS, WHO SAYS "YOU HAVE TILL THE END OF THE YEAR. WORK IT ALL THE WAY OUT, AND YOU GET A (VERY) MODEST SEVERANCE PACKAGE. "

IT'S TAKEN IT A WEEK FOR THIS TO SINK IN PROPERLY. UP UNTIL NOW, EVERY TIME I'VE BEEN OUT OF A JOB, IT HAS BEEN *RIGHT NOW*. NOT 6 MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD.

NOT THAT I THINK IT'LL LAST THAT LONG. THIS PLACE IS GOING TO HELL IN A HANDBAG FASTER THAN YOU COULD SAY "SOD OFF, I QUIT". THERE'S A TRAIN WRECK A-COMING, AND I FOR ONE DON'T WANT TO WATCH FROM THE ENGINE ROOM.

ENOUGH OF THE BAD PARABLES. WISH ME LUCK HERE IN GJ. WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT LEAVING LITTLE-TREE TO GROW UP TO A LIFE OF A WELFARE MOTHER (WITH MY BIATCH-ARSED-EX AS THE EXAMPLE), SO MOVING IS A *VERY* LAST RESORT.

WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES.

At least they gave you a ballpark on when they show you the door. My last job said "we are closing down, you might have a day left or six months. If you stick with us until we let you go, you will get two weeks severance." It is real tough getting up to go to work every day wondering if it will be your last. Good luck, and everything will work out in the long run.

Dayum, that sucks.

So what is it that you do? I've heard about a few jobs out there recently (I haven't qualified, nor do I really want to move), but they may be up your alley. That, and I hear about a lot of 'inside' jobs working here at the state.

Dang Don, that sucks, sorry to hear it! Like others have said though at least they told you. At one point my company was in bankruptcy, the CEO's had been arrested for insider trading and fraud, and we had a meeting where they basically said "we dont know if you'll get pay checks this pay period. You might, you might not..." and meetings like that really suck. Some left but some stuck around, I stuck around simply because I couldn't find anything else and I've been there for 6 years, so go figure...
Hope things work out for ya.
