So, after 12 long arduous years at XYZ Asshole Company, I was let go on Wednesday of this week. I was surprised, to say the least. They "eliminated" my position, and were downsizing again. I find that interesting, considering that they had ALREADY downsized from 700 employees down to 202 as of December. They were only recently bragging about how STRONG the company was financially and how they had emerged from the last downsizing as smaller, but stronger. So much for all that mumbo jumbo. I guess all I have to say is that I am oddly relieved that I didn't have to wake up and go there yesterday. I don't have to ever see those assholes again or deal with their bs ever again. I spent all day yesterday working on the resume, applying for unemployment benefits, etc. I was given a seperation agreement with a severance package for 12 weeks. I have had a few people look it over, and it seems to be on the level. I have a couple more people to look at it before I turn it in next week. There is a 7 day waiting period on it before it becomes effective, so it is to my benefit to sign it and return it asap so I don't have an interruption of pay.
I guess I have to just get the ball rolling and get out there and find the dream job. I so deserve a brand new start..it's the thing I have been PRAYING for. Hopefully the rest of the things I prayed for will come through as well.
That's it and that's all for now....
