I Feel So Helpless PART 2

I started a thread back in November when a couple of my Co-workers were laid off
and Today was my turn... Citigroup laid me off today.... I guess i should be thankful that it happend today and not tomorrow, becuase had i was laid off tomorrow i wouldn't have been elgible for the additional 16 weeks pay.. so i'm on the payroll until 4/30 and then i'll get a 1 yr lumpsum payment and a additional lumpsum of 16 weeks pay... but i feel lost.. I've never been unemployed since i started working... sigh

hug I'm sorry to hear that Banks. But take solace in knowing that financially you're kinda straight for awhile, definitely better off than most. Also, try to look at this as a new beginning, an opportunity for a new and exciting chapter in your life. I'm sure it'll all work out. thumbs up!

comfort Being part of the Wells Wachovia Merger, tensions are high here regarding layoffs too.

All I can say is change brings opportunity.

Good luck!

You have a year's pay, I'd say that's good. After that you can still get unemployment.
