so I got laid off today

[loveofthegame916]

and honestly I don't feel as bad as I thought I would. I mean it still got me feeling pretty bad about it but I know ill be ok. I'm only 19 and I havea bright future ahead of me. Bit when I think about all the people I work with that are middle to old aged and don't know anything else it makes me wannacry on some real #!+$. My moms has been at jc Penney since 93' her best friends there have been there for 25 years and so many other people there have beenwith the company for 10+ years and they were all DEVASTATED when we got the news this morning. It really hurt my soul to see all these people crying and souncertain about their futures man. It felt like somebody died today at work. They gave us 60 days notice but I know some of these people won't be able tofind anything in such a turrible economy


Things have got to get better y'all. It has to

yeah man, when I was 19 & working at Macy's, I didn't give a damn about being about anything, especially being fired. I'd be devastated if Ilost the job I had now though

 

[Pedro Navaja]

sorry to hear that...keep your heads up

 

[suckafree85]

I think my company is heading in that direction too. I hope not though.

My brother got laid off about a month or so ago...he wasn't really sweating it either, and had pretty much the same sort of saddness for other peoplerather then himself...he was telling me this lady that was about 55 got laid off the same time he was, she was with the company for about 15+ years and shedidn't really save any money in those years (learn from others mistakes....). I mean it isn't the end of the world for all the people, but being thatage and looking for a job full of new technology and younger people knowing just as much as you do if not more and making less money has got to be a scaryfeeling.

Oh yeah I feel you on that bro. I got a lil money saved up and I still got 60 days left plus some unemployment so I'm not defeated yet...just gotta behella frugal lol

 

[its labrev]

You should hit up Roseville Galleria, I'm sure that mall has more jobs open / availible. Everyone I know is tryna get a damn job at Arden.

 

[face82]

Wow! My homegirl just lost her job today too! Man it's real out here. Lucky your so young. But that is messed up man. I got laid off when I worked for MCIa few years ago....it's the worst feeling...but like you said it's hard to see the people that's been there before you were born get laid off.It's sad man. You will bounce back. I hope everyone does. It really sucks right now man. I'm sorry to hear that. Stay up my man!!!!

That has got to the worst feeling ever. That's why buying a house is always a great idea even if your broke.
