I got Laid Off and I'm mad as hell! by buuckkweet on 23 Oct, 2008 20:23

My Bald Brothers, the economic times have hit home for me.
At 2:30 this afternoon I was laid off from my seemingly secure management position at work today. My boss could'nt give me a direct reason besides the fact that the decision came down from corporate. B.S!!!! They kept employees who don't know the job nearly as well as I do.
Hell Yeah I'm pissed! But I'm not taking this crap sitting down!
By 5:30pm I've already filed for unemployment, and applied at 2 other places for employment. Every door that is shut in your face means another is about to open. I just have to find the right door. I still can't believe that this happened, but it did. Now it's time to find another great job and once again do my very best!

Hey, Buuckkweet. I've been where you're at right now and your attitude is exactly right. Just hang in there and keep your good attitude up. That is over half of the battle.
You'll be in my prayers. -

Buuckkweet,
I'm real sorry to hear about your getting laid off. But, you've got the right attitude. Get out there and dig up something better.
I'm self-employed and have to find new clients on a semi-regular basis. The hustlers find the work and the lazy ones get left behind. Keep your attitude nice and positive and I'm sure you'll land a great job.
Go get 'em bro ...
Andrew

Buuckkweet,
So sorry for the loss... I have been there before too, and to put it bluntly, it blows.
But, most importantly - you have your head in the right place. You used this to work yourself into something better - and in the long run, you'll look back on this day and remember it as the day your life changed for the better!

Buuckkweet, sorry to hear about you old job, you sound like you are in the right frame of mind. Remember this, your old job is just like your old hair. You can be better off without it. More prayers coming your way.

Been there myself..Just keep your attitude focused on what you DO want and not what you DON'T want. It's amazing how we can attract either one into our lives.
