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

[gymtime]

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

You no faith.

The jobs are out there my friend. There's just not quite as many of them. If Poopject and I can get gigs, anyone can. Even you.

Now give me a big smile.

Are you all IT guys?

Are you all IT guys?

Not I.

I was in operations for a call center. I was the Director in fact and was making just over six figures. I know a lot of people say that, but I actually was. That's why it's such a huge blow. I'm thankful my wife has a good job, and I know I'll find something. I don't think I'll be able to find something that will pay me what I was making and that's OK.

I am reminded of Shawshank Redemption and how some of the prisoners were "institutionalized"

Well that's me with work. I won't be able to sit around all day while getting paid severance. I think I'd go crazy.

i really feel for many of you who work for major corporations..

downsizing is horrible especially when they find "cheaper" labor overseas

My prayers are with you guys..my dad own his own business and he's really struggling daily.

Its as if he IS employed...he's worked and owned the business for 30 years and has nothing to really show for it

but seriously, my prayers are with you.

good luck

Tough deal.....let us know how the search goes. Good Luck.

call centers, help desk and IT departments are going to India it seems... workforce terrorism.




the market is not great now, but I really do hope you come up with something. Also, you can check with the unemployed department and see if you qualify for free training at a nearby college or technical school.... put the down time to good use.

i dont know if this helps but....

I know for a FACT columbus, ohio is THE fastest growing city in the United States.

It is estimated by federal reports that it will be in the top 10 most populated metro area cities in teh united states within 5 years.

If anybody is familiar with the area, they know new restaurants, residental neighborhoods, schools, businesses , etc are being put up DAILY.

if you were willing to locate its a nice city--large with the luxury of "smaller town" living lifestyle.

much money to be made there.

That is, if you're willing to re-locate.
