Balian Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 How well would you work if you found out that your about to get laid off? Me, personally, I really don't feel like working hard at all.. I guess it is time to start looking for another job.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRN96WS6 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 It sucks knowing it is coming but you can't slack because you then potentially burn your bridge. It sucks I have had it happen twice to me but I didn't stop working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Where do you work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I work for a company called TOLT. Here is the kicker. I am the only employee in OH because they picked up a few contracts with some local companies. They are based out of AZ. http://www.toltsg.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 man i would be pissed off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 How about this. You get notice two weeks ago (not officially) that they're bringing in $10-13 dollar and hour asshats to do your job.. which you make twice that amount. And they think they can bring the same level of service that you give. I'll know in a few weeks if I get riffed or not (I'm almost 90% sure I am though.. just because of how short i've been at the job (others have had 3+ more years that I have and I've been there for 3 3/4 years).

darksrt4 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 sorry to hear about you getting laid off. Just keep working hard so they will remember you when they go to rehire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balian Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yea, I know that isn't happening here. Our company is letting people go due to the fact that they are losing business..lol At least I wasn't the first to let go. The killer part is, I have been offered three jobs within the company but since I am screwed by my lease here at my apartments, I cannot move and the company wont pay to move me even though they want me. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 man, you really shot yourself in the foot with that whole apartment thing. Sorry to hear about that, man. If you're getting offered jobs elsewhere in the company, you shouldn't have too much of a problem finding other work. Depending on what you do, Nationwide has so many people leaving that they can't hire fast enough. My friend is a headhunter for them, he is working like crazy right now.

Balian Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Well I think the apartments thing was good..I didn't get evicted and they cannot screw up my good record. As far as finding another job, I see it as being a big problem because even though I have a degree in networking, no one is hiring due to the fact that all jobs now a days are being outsourced to a temp company or overseas..

fush Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 They're doing this at my place to save FOUR FUCKING PERCENT! FOUR! Did you work in SSA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 There are ways out of apartment leases...I've had friends that have had to do it because of jobs. Keep at it. My roommate got laid off last week by GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balian Posted April 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 There is no way out of my apartment lease. There was a big debate about this and my lawyer even says that if it isn't written in the lease, then you have to pay their fee's. There is no state law saying they have to let you out. I wish there was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
