Laid off...

I, along with our entire finance dept, was laid off from work today. I was given a severence package and a letter of recommendation.
Please keep me and my former co-workers in your thoughts (and let me know if you hear about any Journalism or PR jobs! biggrin )
sigh

At least I'll have more time to surf The Org wink

So sorry AP. I feel your pain. I was laid off after the 9/11 incident due to "falling economy" as the employer put it. I felt horrible. My prayers are with you.

On the bright side, now you have more time to spend with your ORG familia biggrin

Hang in there, apples...something better will come along. Not to minimize the suckiness of the situation. I'm dedicating this cyber-hug to YOU. wink

hug
No confusion, no tears. No enemies, no fear. No sorrow, no pain. No ball, no chain.

Sex is not love. Love is not sex. Putting words in other people's mouths will only get you elected.

applekisses,


I was laid off YEARS ago, 3 years into my 1st "real job"..
so I have an idea of what you're going through - & it's tough.

as such,
I'll offer you this, as you regroup & get ready to move on to something else good, maybe even bigger & better :

+ for every door that closes, another door opens

+ every experience - professional or otherwise - that you go through in life prepares you for "the next level"


to paraphrase the title of the 8th song off the 6th album :

BABY YOU'RE A star !
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..
