No traffic, no October fog, showed up early, great day. Got laid off at 2:00... Ugh.

Here’s hoping my DriveTrive bid goes through... and is paid plz

Anyone who can point me to an IT / PM / Software position in the northern Ohio area would be my new hero. Thanks everyone!

That sucks! Do you get Unemployment?

Have you ever considered a Biomed gig? The two techs at our hospital have it made. Or even an IT gig in Healthcare?

first time? (getting laid off once can be a valuable character building experience... any more than that and it’s just sh!t...)

I got laid off once. It hurts; but you what hurt worse? The bottle of Jameson that I drank about 90% of in around 2 and half hours.

You didn’t get fired. Ask your former bosses and co-workers for letters of recommendation. Don’t blow through any severance package. Sure, maybe take a few days or even a week to blow off some steam and then get yr head back in the game. The economy isn’t too bad these days (I was laid off from a newspaper job in 2008, that was the end of that), so you’ll pull through. My ex was an IT recruiter and a few years ago, they were filling jobs left and right, it was madness! Even if the industry has stabilized, there are still plenty of those jobs out there for the taking.

I’ve been there. It sucks, but as time passes it gets better.

Good luck

What skills do you have, and how do you feel about Dayton?

I got laid off in April and still haven’t found anything, hope your search is more fruitful than mine has been.

If working remotely is an option I would be happy to send a resume and apply!
