On the bright side, you could take home whatever you want and nobody would be the wiser. :shifty:

scary times were living in. hope you pull through this. im stressing like crazy with my job since my company is up for sale and ive only been with them a year.
Just keep hanging in there.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My best wishes to you in your loss. The sense of unknown can be very powerful.
The depression, anger, and dread you feel are very normal. Be careful you don't do something in the moment which affects the rest of your life. Review the job sites out there, the severance benifits including retraining you might be entitled to, and move forward. You have the support of your friends here and what ever other networks you might have formed. Use them, perhaps they have leads you have not thought about.
Hang in there, my friend!

Any severance package? I hope so. Good luck, hopefully you will find something fast and get back on track.

Brother I am sorry to hear this. i know how you feel as I went through the same thing. Need to keep the fire burning inside, and start looking for a new job right away. I know the feeling, but you have to prop yourself back, and know in your heart that it isn't you, times are just tough. I wish you the very best. Keep the faith!:wink2:

Rest in peace bigbry and dolphin debby!
Very sorry to hear this bro.
Lots of good info and thoughts already in here. As mentioned we will give you all the moral you could ever need.
Times are tough, but that just means its time to hustle to better your opportunities.
There are quite a few good job networking sites on the net. Spend time in them and hopefully something good will come from it.
Sorry to hear that bro. Keep your head up. Best of luck finding a new job.

I am sorry to hear this news. Just hang in there and I am sure you will find something that's probably even better.
Don't worry Be Happy...doesnt have the same ring to it anymore, I suspect....but you should be happy you are in a beautiful location to find a new opportunity.

"To me, there are three things we all should do every day of our lives. Number one is laugh. You should laugh every day. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And Number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.
"If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."
