Sorry to hear the bad news, but I am sure you will bounce back quickly. From what you described, they will be calling you real soon for some "consulting" work at four times your old salary. As soon as they discover they can't support that part of their system, that is. :thumbs:
Corporate property... back to them.Quote:

Adept, how long did you have this job? I thought you were the person that was out of work for quite a while and then got employed again about a year ago. Was that you?
Anyway, I'm really sorry that this happened, but good news is waiting for you just around the corner.
Sounds like you have a great attitude about it Adept. Good Luck dealing with the bidding war for your services. ;)
That was exactly it - out of work 11 months, then employed for 13.Quote:

a d e p t that sucks. I was laid off last year the Monday after Christmas. Crappy time to do it, but like has already been said, at least they waited till after Christmas, and did it with some class.
Good Luck man.
I'm still mourning the BlackBerry.Quote:

This is like the 2nd layoff for you in just over a year.
I know this isn't the best just happening after Christmas.
Hope you at least qualify for E.I. if you can't find something in the next 30 days.
Maybe you could have a mini-vacation.
Sorry to ask, but who or what is the Blackberry??
A blackberry is one of these (or similar as there's a few) ...

Ya_know last year my division spent over $500,000 on a massive employee reward trip to Toronto and the year before my department spent over $25,000 on a 4-day golf resort outing referred to as an "offsite meeting".Quote:

Sorry to hear about that, Adept. You are in my prayers, bro.
Adept, I hope you removed your modifiacations from the Blackberry before you gave it back ;)
