OfcMav Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 In our recent economic crisis who here is either laid off or soon to be effected by layoffs - I just thought we could all vent together about the current economic situation. I'll start, at my wonderful place of employment - city of mansfield - announced to myself and 25 other of my co-workers that they would be laying us off in t-minus 30 days, this is in addition to 4 they already laid off. Chances of me getting called back to work....not very good so the city is going to ---> . Most of us getting laid off cant just go get another job for what we are specifically trained in. Just wanted to get the venting out there! Atleast I still have my kawi to keep me happy and stress free...i love my motorcycle and this site it really takes my mind off of a lot of things and sends me to my happy place! haha so i guess on the bright side, a lot of riding in my near future who wants to ride?!?!?!? anyone else feel the pain?

dustinsn3485 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Next question... is everybody else finding the same job search results I am? More specifically' date=' plenty of jobs if you want to work in the food service industry at $7.50/hour or if you want to be a bank teller or over-the-road truck driver. How's the hunt going for everyone else?[/quote']It sucks, but it's income and a job.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cattmouch33 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 got laid off april 8th at the end of the day with very minimum chance of getting called back. Finding a job in my field is going to suck, nothing coming up so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 If I got laid off I would pimp out my mother but finances would still be tight due to the fact that she doesn't swallow. That limits the number of clients... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMax33 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 She's selling her ass behind my back, the stupid ungrateful cunt. You do realize that she cums when you punch her, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balaormiga Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Not sure what I would do if laid off. Been gainfully employed non-stop since 1980, though not the same company. First Procter & Gamble and then GE.The trick is to always look for ways to make yourself more valuable to the company. If they can hire someone off the street into your position you need to increase your education either internally or externally.Though that is not to say I am not constantly stressed over the possibility given the extent of this recession.Ooops I got off track weren't we talking about someone's mother?

playerpro153 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 I went government for my job findings. FBI is on a hiring spree. I went to navair. they're hiring some 800 engineers for the JSF and H53-K programs. It's hard to find anything in the private sector right now. The downside is, you may have to move, but in this time, do it if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
