The wonderful world of unemployment...

**Ironlung** · March 16th, 2007, 03:46 PM

I'm getting my first taste of it today. I've had the same job for 8 years and I get told when I get done with work today that I'm getting a layoff. To hell with the job, but I'm gonna miss the guys I work with. I'm still not sure if this is a good thing, or if I'm sad. I've had a job since I was 16. I've never drawn unemployment. I feel lost.

That sucks man. I know feel even worse that you didn't get hired on at Embarq. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] And to look at these [censored] idiots they have been hiring. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

That's their loss. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Fek Embarf. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I really do wish I'd gotten it though.

**TheBeast** · March 16th, 2007, 05:13 PM

Are there any others getting laid off.

**Ironlung** · March 16th, 2007, 07:04 PM

Me and one other guy. Don't worry, it wasn't Greasy. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Sorry to hear about the layoff IronLung. If you want to move to North Carolina I can get you a job with me at Ingersoll-Rand.

Cool, I would be more worried about Greasy finding another decent job than I would you.
Did they give you any kind of time frame that they may bring you back on or is this the end all,and the first steps in a battle to stay open which will eventually end in total closure.
