I learned that I just lost my job, and without warning... tomorow will be my last day. I am working for a maintenance company, and they decided they would switch from a night shift to a morning shift.
But on the bright side, I got this is in my inbox: Quote:

Well...the internet part was great news!
As to the job...how is the employment rate there? Do you foresee any trouble getting hooked up? From what little I know of you, you will have a job again real fast, no sweat.

Well... I'm in no big hurry to find a new job. I have enough to last a month easily, more if I spend a little less than usual. And I can always temporarily take any job that come by. But it suck to spend time looking when I already had a great job, and I'll be losing money, too. I was keeping that money for a new computer...

OH NO
I am very sorry to hear that. It's disgracefull how they gave you so little notice, that is just treating people like dirt [img]graemlins/madhell.gif[/img] . Is Canada going through a recession, every person I know in Canada (3) has just lost or is losing there job. Best wishes and good luck Luvian ps I'm sure we can rustle up 10,000+ refrances through Ironworks! [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear that Luvian.
I am in a similar position myself - I lost my job about a week before Christmas, and I'm still looking for work. I'm well qualified but think I might end up flipping burgers LOL. Hope you find something soon.

I'm very sorry to hear about your troubles, Luvian. A very good friend of mine went through a similar experience a little over a year ago. He was a computer programmer and worked from his home. His company "downsized" about 3 months after he and his family had relocated to a brand new area. He couldn't find anything in his field, so it led to a complete career change.
I hope your situation changes soon and you find another job you like just as well as your previous one.
