I just got laid off.

My friend works in SD for a Biotech company. Do you happen to know a japanese guy named Darin?

Nope... sorry... SD is a big place though.

I'm home early since there's no point in staying... My last day in Thursday and all of us who are laid off will be given one month salary... its not a lot, but hopefully I can find a job by then. I am going to have to apply for unemployment as well. =( I thought I would never have to do it... but such is life.

They told me I couldn't cash out my sick hours. Is that normal?

Oh btw, I did raid the office supplies hehe.

that is normal. you should get your vacation hours though. good luck to you. PM me with your resume if you're into IT stuff.

don't worry, i'll be there soon enough, with seagate aquiring a certain company...

Yes jump on unemployment insurance immediately. You've been paying into that system for years... it's time to get something back!

I've been laid off twice and I used the AZ UI both times with absolutely zero regrets.

 

[miniMUNCH]

Shouldn't have a problem getting a post in biotech in SD.

 

[bleuiko]

Yeah, but I'm not sure I want to go back into that industry anymore... so much pain and shooting for the moon...

I just call Kaiser for my physical and going to try to get everything in before my insurance runs out!
