[SunnyD]

Sorry dude. On a side note (why aren't there ever any top or bottom notes?) - I actually got spared the axe today. 2 others weren't so fortunate though.

 

[sdifox]

There is a lot of this happening. Good luck. I think we are all going to need it.

 

[aphex]

Sorry to hear

I like the mechanic idea. Try Jiffy Lube. Those guys never stick around for some reason, so Im sure they are always hiring.

I wish ya the best man...things are rough right now. Just try not to focus on all the bad and do what you can, when you can.

I take it your extended time off wasn't well received? Or was that not you?

 

[Fayd]

if you left off that last word, it would have been a good thing...

What do you do?

I was Shipping and Receiving Coordinator for a jewelry manufacturer.

Just a menial job, but it was a job.. and I had no idea this was coming. Just a few weeks ago, my boss and I were talking about promotions and advancements, because I was doing so well.

They let both me and my boss go. Doh.

Rio Grande?

 

[LordMaul]

Like I posted in that other thread, I also got let go a couple days ago. No notice, nothing... And it wasn't due to anything I did, they were just clearing out the store and changing some things around, so even though I was the supervisor, I got booted within 10 minutes of arriving for work in the morning with no warning ahead of time.

And this was just after two car accidents (resulting in both cars being totaled, neither of which are being paid for by insurance despite the fact that neither were my fault), which resulted in a worsened back injury bad enough to force me to walk with a cane, and to top it all off I've been sick as fuck constantly for the past several months. Life really fucking blows right now.

Nah, although we did buy stuff from them sometimes.

We made jewelry for catalogs like Coldwater Creek, Silpada and Sundance.

 

[Pocatello]

Good luck in finding your next job.

 

[AlienCraft]

Sorry to hear that.
I'm expecting the axe to fall as well.

If you end up moving back to PDX and need a place to stay, I live in a 3 bedroom house and one of those bedrooms is empty.

Eli, that sucks.
Nik, that was a nice offer. Good on ya man!
