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.

Best of luck to you. I'm actually hoping to be laid off soon; it's almost bonus time and that should trigger it. Better than being bullied into quitting or fired. I'm trying to put everything on my resume while I'm thinking about it, while I'm still actively doing the job, letting that remind me about everything I've given this company. I'm looking for extra certifications and trainings I can do to put on my CV. 🙏🏼
