Merry F*ing Christmas to ME! Losing my job at the end of the month...

[EnviroBat]

This is fucking great. I guess the shit is hiting the fan around here. I'm guess that the bank didn't pull down the 12.2 billion in profits that they needed. Poor bastards probably only mad about 12.1 billion this year, damn that's a tough one. At any rate, they are cutting all of the contracting work force and not extending anyone. I got the word today, don't know what I'll do come Jan 1. Maybe a bartending gig would be fun for a change...

1. i am sorry,

that sucks. i am wishing you a better job with better pay. :hug:

[EnviroBat]

6. Thanks...

I really appreciate this place. I don't know what I'd do without all of youns...

[Ariana Celeste]

2. Man, that's rough.

At least you got plenty of notice, right? You can start looking around immediately. :(

:hug:

[EnviroBat]

4. Yeah, about 3 weeks to find a new gig.

I really want to be a rockstar though. I've started firing off resumes to all of my contacts.

[Ariana Celeste]

8. Good luck, man

You'll be rockin' in no time. :headbang:

[BarenakedLady]

3. Oh that sucks!

I'm so sorry :hug: I hope you find something soon.

[EnviroBat]

7. Thank you sweetness.

I still like your picture the best!

[BarenakedLady]

10. Which picture?

:shrug:

[EnviroBat]

16. There was a picture you posted here awhile back...

I'm pretty sure you posted a nice picture of yourself, man I hope you're not a dude... :spray:

[miss_american_pie]

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

9. Damn

I'm in Columbus and there are several on the board who work in IT and do the contractor thing. I have a good idea which bank you work for. :(

PM me if you want and I'll try to put you in touch with some other IT guys.

[EnviroBat]

17. Yeah lizzie, I think you know the "One"...

Or formally anyway. I havent been able to pm anybody here yet, so forgive my ignorance. I'll give it a shot in awhile. I really appreciate the networking thing. Thanks X 1,000,000

[lizziegrace]

19. It's one of the reasons we're here, tohelp each other out

:)

Whenever you can, shoot me a message.

11. That really sucks. What a shitty time of year to do it, too. On the bright side,

at least they gave you some notice. Small consolation, I know, but it's something.

They're firing people left and right at my office (with no notice) and there's no way to tell who is going to be next. The rest of know we should be looking for new jobs but they're working us so hard we're too exhausted to do it.

Anyway, good luck. Hopefully something even better will come along.

:hug:

[leftofthedial]

12. good luck

[cwydro]

13. That is rotten.

Rotten. It would be wrong any time of the year, but why companies do this crap around Christmas...?:wtf:

[GreenPartyVoter]

14. *hugs*

[Haole Girl]

15. I'm sorry.

It's never easy, but it seems especially horrible to happen this time of the year. :hug:

[EnviroBat]

18. Thank you all so much!

You all are the absolute best!

[SeattleGirl]

20. Damn, that sucks.

I hope you are able to find a new job soon. :hug:
