Laid Off
We'll I've joined the ranks of the unemployed.
I came in this morning to find my boss there waiting to tell me the news.
This sucks.

Sorry to hear that! What were you doing for work? Monday's suck. I got mine on a Monday when I used to work high-tech. Took the train to work and by 9:30 I had a box of my stuff and had to call my wife to leave her work to drive 40 minutes to pick me up. Glad I didn't bike to work that day.

I've done Environmental Consulting for the past 15+ years.
I know the feeling. I had a company car so I drove it home with all my stuff (including refrigerator and cabinets) and brought my bike back to ride home.Steve

Sorry dude, I have been on unemployment since August of last year. They kept me on but as part time, so I guess that's better then no working at all. I drive for UPS and this economy is so crappy there is no work for anyone.

Was there from Sep'08 til Mar'09. Worst 6 months ever. Hope you bounce back quickly. That is too nice a house you just finished!

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Environmental Consulting, primarily asbestos, lead, mold, industrial hygiene and a bit of recycling/waste management.

Steve,
Sorry to hear it. Did they tell you if this is a temporary thing?
My wife is in commercial RE construction Mgt. She may have someone in her network that might be able to help you. PM me with the name of your former employer so we can check that off the list if she knows them.True T.
