I was working for a (at the ...I know how you feel. I was working for a (at the time) huge financial stock corporation. I had come to that company because the company I was working for was bought out. In the buy-out, it was stated that no-one was to loose their job from that buy-out for at least a year. What happens two days after Christmas the following year? I was let go. They were really nice about it, and my manager said that I was the best employee she had, and that she wished it was someone else, but that was it for me. Not saying anything is a good thing! I wanted to curse out my manager that day, but didn't. Instead, in a daze, I thanked her, shook her hand and went back to my desk to pack up. That turned out to be a good thing, because she rushed back to my desk and asked me to stay on for one more month and train a replacement and she would throw in 3 months paid severance. Keep your head up, and stay focused.JediChrichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12033423976479872353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8166852.post-26825885389778385792010-07-17T21:20:34.726-06:002010-07-17T21:20:34.726-06:00Sorry to hear about that.
