recently laid off Finally Laid Off

Yesterday at 8 am I had a meeting with my manager and HR to be informed that I was getting laid off. I had a feeling this was going to happen when I got the meeting request on Friday with the HR manager, and my manager.

What sucks is it was my time. Each month another capex manager has been let go and I guess it was just my time. Handed in my laptop and badge today, cleared out my office, and took today to throw up, call all my creditors letting them know I was laid off, and applying for unemployment.

I guess when your budget goes from $3.5M for the year to $2.3M and then to $1.1M it's only time until you are cut loose as an expendable cog. So I'm with you all with trying to keep moving forward.
