sorry to hear that man!

but they do it to balance the books before the end of year. holidays just happen to fall around that time.

I'm sorry man. I know how big companies are. Both of my parents worked for an oil company. We all know how people feel about those companies. They don't treat their employees any better than anybody else. I hope everything bounces back quickly for you.

i dont think the problem is just the weather :)

Sorry to hear Mike.

I've been looking for a job for about a month now, it definitely isn't fun. Hope you bounce back quickly.

sorry to hear dude... but when one door closes, another opens...

Wow! that stinks I am so sorry! My hubby works for Citi goodness knows how long we got ... they are letting people go all around him :(

Really sorry to hear. I sincerely hope for a quick turnaround.

I am sorry, I hope things start looking up for you. You might try some goverment jobs. www.usajobs.com They're hiring across the board if you have the experience.

So sorry to hear.

I know what you are going thru. Back in '01 I was laid off 2 weeks before Christmas after working there for 14 years.
I was out 10 months before finding a job that laid me off in before this Summer.
The new place I work at is cutting back now as well.

The economy sucks. I wish you all the best.

Sometimes in construction all it takes is the weather to delay a project resulting in layoffs...
I know what you are saying though its just rough times and a rough economy right now.All we really can do is work hard,keep a positive attitude,and just try a to get through it!
Hang in there man things will get better, just try and keep your head above water. Best of wishes
