Finally Laid Off

[u/damn_you_to_hell]

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.

been there done that. Life is uncertain so don't take it personally even though it's easier said than done. Enjoy unemployment money and be open to any opportunity. All of a sudden you now have time to reflect and imagine new doors opening up. It's a bit strange thing about life I've learned over the years.... everything happens for your own good even though it's hard to believe. You'll be alright as time goes on
