I was told yesterday I am getting laid off at the end of the month. I have worked here six and a half years.
I know this is one chapter ending and another beginning.
Sigh...
Am so sorry, please try not to stress over it. Everything happens for a reason, even though it may not be apparent. Hang in there, you never know what's around the corner!
I'm wishing I had something more original to say than I'm sorry. I truly am. I know finding a new job can be a very stressful time. Here's hoping that whatever lies around the bend will be better than what you leave behind it.
I am so sorry to hear this. It has to be hard going in for two more weeks, knowing the end is near.
My husband was laid off in January. Called into the boss's office, told the news, given some information and showed the door.
I'm not sure which scenario is worse, as both are bad.
Wishing you every success in finding a new and even better position.
My husband was laid off twice in his career. The more stressful time for me happened to be when I was well employed because it was when we were about to adopt a baby. His being laid off meant that we had to stop the proceedings. The other time he was laid off, I was a stay-at-home mom with no income, but I had my kid, so it was less dreadful!
It will all work out. It did for us even though my husband had a heart attack and we had to move! Keep the faith.

Wishing you the best and hope that you land on your feet real soon. Hang in there.
I'm so sorry mom2dolls. I understand the feelings of loss and fear even when one's life is changed by job loss/change. Sending you lots of good thoughts and PS dust for an even better opportunity to come your way. (((Hugs))).
After you come to terms with this, you will find that most often it opens a door to a better job for you. I am sorry you have to go thru this. I send you a virtual hug and dust for a new beginning for your career.
It is for sure not a good feeling. I got laid off 2 years ago the day after we closed the sale on our apartment. I was fortunate though to get a contract job that began 2 months later through my network. The contract was supposed to be only 6 months and ended up almost 2 years. Unfortunately, my husband passed away unexpectedly end of May and despite 2 levels of management approval they couldn't push through my extension and my contract ended end of June. It is not a good feeling going from 2 incomes to 0 income.
I bet you in no time we will be on new professional adventures. This will one day just be a bad memory that was followed by lots of good ones. Hang in there!
Once upon a time I thought being fired or laid off was "a sign" that one was inferior. I've long since come to realise how unfathomably idiotic that sensibility was. Sometimes companies let good people go. Sometimes it's for reasons that are understandable, sometimes it isn't. Sometimes they're given notice, like you were, and sometimes they aren't - I honestly don't know which is worse.
But none of that reflects on you, your abilities, your accomplishments, or your potential. I know it's probably impossible to believe right now, but you'll learn and grow from this experience, and you'll find a new place that's a better fit for you in ways you wouldn't have thought to consider before this. And soon - sooner than you think! - just as Pinto said, this will just be a bad memory followed by good ones
Hang in there!!
