So I am out of a job. Again.

big-james · 2016-03-24T13:10:18.000Z

Been in this one since September 2015 this time.

Came in to work this morning after having the day off for the washing machine repair man to come and tell me he couldn’t fix my machine. No surprise there. And was told I was being let go because the company couldn’t afford to keep me on.

So a bit longer than the last one which only lasted three months. That one however caused me more stress than it was worth so I left that one.

I suspect this was probably true too as the company had finance problems in January/ February that ended up with one company going in to administration and an new company being formed to buy all assets, transferring employees and take on all creditors to of the original company.

Oh well back to square again one I guess.

That sucks man. I wish you well on your job search.

taylorc · 2016-03-24T13:20:37.000Z

Sorry to hear, good luck on the job search. Wish I could tell you it’s easy but I am having a hell of a time finding a new job as well. I always get a kick out of hearing employers report “we cant find any skilled labor”.

That fu%&ing blows man! I’m sure you’ll find something soon. Good luck!

nerdydad · 2016-03-24T13:25:33.000Z

Been there too. Best of luck to you in finding at least green, if not greener pastures.

Time to move on to bigger and better things. Good luck, bro!

Skilled labor with decades worth of training and experience that will work for $10-$15 an hour is what is hard to find. I’ve been there out of desperation.

Sorry to hear that! Remember, when one door closes another one opens!

Sounds to me like you are bad luck. Remind me not to hire you.

christopher6322 · 2016-03-24T13:50:45.000Z

Good luck!

Good luck on hunting. You’ll land something soon.

Skilled labor, noun, phrase management uses when describing “damn fools who can’t afford to value themselves properly”; cf. “IT folks who just need to get paid”

Good luck, sir.

Lol, Thanks for the encouragement

I’ll be rewriting my CV over the weekend and be hitting the agencies hard Monday morning.

In the mean time I noticed that one of my loos is running slightly, so I’m going to walk to the local plumbing place this afternoon to see if they have a space rubber seal for the flush as it just disintegrated in my hands when I took it out.

bill-frame · 2016-03-24T14:06:49.000Z

Best of luck on the job search. I hope you find a place that really values you.

Maybe you should start a home repair company on the side while you’re looking.

Sorry to hear that. Good luck getting a new job. I’m sure you’ll find a new one soon

mhunt · 2016-03-24T17:44:45.000Z

On to bigger and brighter things, good luck!

Sorry to hear about that. Best of luck to you on the search

Dang man, keep fighting though, never let em see you sweat.

NetworKing · 2016-03-24T18:16:18.000Z

Ouch, that hurts not even advanced notice? I thought places were supposed to give 2 week notice for stuff like that maybe that is for employees i would have thought reverse was true too.

If you have connections don’t be afraid to use them.
