I've been made redundant.

I just lost my job. They are doing away with U.S. coders (which I take as they are going overseas for cheaper labor costs

). All prayers and good thoughts are welcome. A friend of mine might be able to get me another job, but I still feel like sh*t right now.

All this 2 days before I enjoy a weekend in Philadelphia. Great.

Oh Christy I'm so sorry.

Losing a job is never easy. You will definitely get a slot on my prayer list!!!!

Good luck - and don't let it put a damper on your vacation...even in the midst of job loss you deserve to have a good time and unwind and forget about life stresses for a bit

) Take care...

Good luck Christy. You'll find something else, and look at the bright side, maybe you'll find something you like a lot better and it will prove to be a better career move

. Look at it like an opportunity instead of a loss!

I'm so sorry, Christy.

I feel your pain, and my prayers are with you. Just remember, things happen for a reason.

JazmenFlowers · #6 05-23-2006, 02:08 PM

I'll be thinking about you.

skcin · #7 05-23-2006, 02:16 PM

Sorry to hear this, Christy. I'm sure you'll find another job soon.

hey Christy..don't be too down, actually...this could be good for you...a new haircut, doing more stuff, turning 30,...it's all positive..so enjoy Philly and get stuck back into it when you return..way better jobs out there and lots of new people to meet

Patti · #9 05-23-2006, 02:20 PM

I'm sorry Christy. I got laid off last year on 12/30. I've now found a better job with better pay, so keep your chin up and remember when a door closes a window opens.

You're in my thoughts.

Johnny Stew · #10 05-23-2006, 02:29 PM

I'm really sorry to hear that, Christy. As much as it stings right now though, I'm as confident as everyone else here that you'll find something even better very soon.

Enjoy every minute of that vacation -- you've earned it!

Hey Christy...losing a job is a bummer. I made a change in career after the fall of the aero-industry, and I am forever thankful that happened! I find you to be incredibly bright with a wonderful personality so I am sure, no matter what comes to you, you will do great! As everyone said, enjoy your trip to the fullest as it may be pound-pavement when you return. Hugssss and good thoughts your way that everything is as you wish. Take care, and feel free to bitch about the situation here.

ragandbone · #12 05-23-2006, 02:36 PM

That sucks!
I hope you find a new job you really love, and that you get to have a little break (without job search)before it starts!

SuzeQuze · #13 05-23-2006, 02:38 PM

I'm also sorry to hear about this, Christy. Everything will work out even though it is hard to see that now. (((hugs)))

Lee · #14 05-23-2006, 03:32 PM

That is so weird. I was just wondering today if you have gone to Philly yet or not.

I've been laid off before & something better is always around the corner. You'll find a job when you get back. Don't worry.

Enjoy your trip.

Lee

Mari · #15 05-23-2006, 03:41 PM

Ah, that sucks

I hope you'll find something else soon!
