Just because he's been there 13 years doesn't mean I've been there that long. I am in the IT department but am under a different group than Mark (I manage the unix servers).

wnaplay1647545503 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hey it says alot about you that your willing to call in and let them know of a few things they might need to. I have done the same things before when leaving a job. When I left my company to try something else, I was calling weeks later keeping tabs on projects I was working on.

jeffro Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hahaha, thats how much i make working 40 hours a week. thats LESS than what i make on a 40 hr week fucking donatos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evan9381 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 thats LESS than what i make on a 40 hr week fucking donatos because at 18, and a "manager", you're probably a shift manager making about 8.25/hr i worked there for about 2 years when i was your age driving and pulled in like 15$/hr, and most of it tax free. you're in the wrong section of the company Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I've been in your shoes. Ironically, I just called a buddy of mine who's in marketing and sales there. He's in mgt. and seems good, but another friend in sales is scared she's on the fence. They all seem to be. Me too....and I just got back on my feet just 6mos ago after being released.

Bam Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Why would it matter getting 40 hours/week if you're making the same amount in less hours? Man has a point Jeff. I used to be a shift manager at grinders, made a bit more than you do but its basically the same thing. Went back to school and became a driver, was working less but making a bunch more. Shit most thurs/fri/sat nights I'd make $120 a night or so delivering, but it was also dublin/powell area so good money... Sorry to hear Mark, hope things work out for you.

thorne Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 thanks for all the support. I told her and she took it very well. Much better than I expected anyways. I worked at Sterling Commerce in Dublin. They are owned by AT&T. My boss said that this was due to the failing economy and it was more than just me that got it. I was low man on the seniority totem pole with only 13 years in. The good thing is I've made lots of good friends over the past 13 years at Sterling that I'm going to miss. After the shock is gone and reality is back I feel pretty good about being able to find a new job within the IT industry. If there's anyone out there that needs a Datacenter/Operations/Facilities worker... I could be exactly what you're looking for!! It's going to be weird not getting up at 4:40am to get ready for work...... Hell I'm still thinking about shit that I was working on that my old boss needs to know about.... Sick thing is I'll call him tomorrow to fill him in... Well my arms and hands are going numb again so I'm going to take a break from the computer and try to choke down some food. thanks again for all the support, it definitely helps. Awww man I knew there was something big comming. I herd about it a big RIF. So it did happen . Man I am so sorry to hear that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats probably the best attitude to have in this situation. In 13 years im sure you made alot of friends and contacts in the industry that your now looking for employment in. Get all the leads you can by not burning your bridges and taking it personal AND actually trying to help your former boss with the work your leaving behind it will leave nothing but a good impression. It does look great when you put your former imediate supervisor on the top of your list of references. Just dont make the mistake of "taking some time off", a good friend told me once you cant take time to reflect you just have to hit the ground running immdiatly after. Hope some encouragement helps, it worked for me. goodluck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Join the club man. Apply for unemployment asap, you'll make about $350 a week tax free (if you choose) Just wanted to throw this out there, but unemployment benefits are not tax free.

Maybe it changed, but go above your #'s you get more $$$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
