I was just let go!

[Kesslers Kreatures]

Stop.
Breathe.
Take no action right away.
Yes, the economy sucks.
Yes, unemployment is crazy.
But, for today and tomorrow and the next day- breathe.
And do nothing.
I know it's scary and crappy and undeserving.
But just breathe and do nothing for a few days.
Really.
It's messed up out there.
Just chill for now.
Feel your emotions and then let them go.
Everything happens for reasons.
Let the reasons come...

I agree, your really upset right now... Just clear your head and start the hunt Monday morning.

I hate how the economy is now, Its really taking its toll on everyone

Good luck!

It's hard especially since my property taxes are not escrowed and I pay them in one shot. I have a big bill due July 1st.
I also don't know if I'll find something reasonably soon.
This bites.

Well, that sucks. But I'm sure you weren't saving it to pay from one paycheck....
Listen- crap happens and this is life. You will make things happen for yourself and your family. In that you must put your faith and your action.
After you do nothing but just breathe and play for the weekend.

Senior Financial analyst for the U.S. division of a chemical company.

Steve, I also heard through the grape vine that my chemical company just laid off 5 very high, very educated employees. I feel for ya....

Hey Steve... Last year I was cut from a company I was sure I was going to retire with...

Here's the thing, everything will work out. Things might get tight, (or they might not)... but they will be OK. Adjusting to change is one of the best things about being human.

BUG HUGS... You'll probably go through a funk, but stay focused. Make lists of goals, etc...Are you eligible for unemployment in your state until you find a position?

All my best!

My dad was let go last fall, he was a project manager for a home builder. Housing market is falling apart so they had to fire alot of people. But he ended up starting his own business, and a few months ago ran into a job opening that wasnt even planned, he was hired instantly. He went to school for a job in this field, I love that field, so it all worked out really well. It was the best thing that ever happend to him. You will do the same im sure! Everything happens for a reason!

Steve,

Sorry to hear the news; keep your head up.

sorry to hear that Steve, but as has been pointed out, let it go for the weekend. clear your mind and your emotions. Monday is a new day, new week and your mind will see clearer. If you can, file for unemployment. call the tax bureau about your property taxes, explain what happend and see if you can make payment arrangements. Most places are willing to work with your situation.. its a win win.. you pay toward it and they get their money. there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.. trust me I've been down that dark road more times than I care to remember. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bummer Dude.

However, this sounds suspicious to me. You just had a run in the HR last month and now, out of the blue, you're terminated?

You may want to talk to a liar, er lawyer, next week and see if something can be done.

Or, to the left, it happens. No point in browbeating yourself over it, it's not going to get undone that way.

Good luck.
