shitty day for me!

 
Got RIF'd today.  Boss flew out from Dallas with his manager and an unknown person, turns out it was an HR rep.  Bad news for me as I stepped into a conference room thinking I was getting a review!
May 15th is my last day at a company I've been with now 9yrs.  Never saw this comming with all the tool installs we have in progress. 
That all. 

Sorry to hear that, Troy.  Hopefully it'll lead to something better for you.   

Dude, that totally blows.  No other way to put it.

Oh man Troy... I'm so sorry to hear that    Seems many of my friends are in this same boat these days.   I had a rough 5-6 years where I ended up in over 10 jobs due to layoffs, cutbacks, contracts and corporate scandals.  We have already had layoffs at work (and they say we are due for more...)

Hang in there man!

Oh man. I'm sorry, that really is a shitty day.

Sorry to hear that.

Friday is our day here at my work. Over half of the production folks I work with will be getting laid off that day, the rest will stay 'til the end of June or so. Nobody really knows who is going or staying until Friday morning when they get their envelope. Sucks ass.

I got lucky and landed a job in a different department. So I'm safe. For now...

Again, sorry about your situation.

I think we should have a RIF'd day on the water. I work in HR and have been on both sides os the RIF. In Jan I was again on the receiving end!

 "Misery loves company" isn't that the saying?  Thanks all, IT REALLY sucks that we have to go this.  To all you in the same boat, I'm sorry to hear it as well.   

Sorry to hear that Troy, if there's any way I can help, let me know.

That's thoroughly f'd up!    You definitely have plenty of company in that boat...
Things will get better, though.

Just keep your head above water, and remember every cloud has a silver lining.

 Amen, Hang in there Bro...

One door closes and another will open! Hang in there my brotha....Andy

I know how you feel.  Been out of work since early this year.  This is my first layoff after 25 years working in the high tech industries.  Hang in there, things will get better toward the 2nd half of the year.

Sorry Troy.  If they have to let you go, it would be nice if they have the courtesy to do it right.  I've heard of too many people like you called in for a "review" or "new project to discuss" only to get the heave ho.

We are working 4 days a week, and laid off a couple others just last week...  Things are tough everywhere, but it can't go on forever.
