How many else of you are unemployed this fine Juneteenth morning?

[spentagn]

I know I am. Lease expires next month, don't know where to try to move. Poopy.

 

[WODIN]

"Juneteenth" you must be a Texan.

 

[spentagn]

Yeah. So I guess I'm on vacation today, not jobless.

 

[beefybull]

I'm unemployed, but I still manage to hustle every now and then. However, I'm just about completely broke, so it might be high time to rob a liquor store, lol.

 

[spentagn]

You're never *unemployed*. Your new job is full-time job seeker. You're a salesperson for yourself.

Uh-huh. Tell that to my landlord.

I got laid off on Monday...company downsizing...moving more jobs to Canada, etc., etc.

I've got until next Friday to clear out my shit and close up loose ends, then my severance package starts. One week for every year of service since the company was bought by a larger firm. So even though I've been here 6 and a half years, I only get 5 weeks. I am nevertheless still thankful for that.

It's a major bummer, but you move on.

Thanks for the words.

Just sort of hits you in the face and brings you to reality that corporate America is a cold, brutal, calculating world.

Will do, Wodin!
