I hope I have not offended anyone today.. I know I have been a little testy well nasty really.. we have a meeting in 15 minutes and the talk around the office is the company is moving out of state or that major layoff are coming..
I have been with this company for almost 10 years and I am very worried…
So please except my apology if I offended anyone today.. Smile

Mine too! Take a deep breath Judy - this is one of those things that is out of your control. I have been in one of those moods today also! Good luck in the meeting.

No one will feel offended, Judy. I hope they will understand your situation. Don't stress. I pray that everything goes well with you. Smile

Judy - July 1 is quite far away at this time. Alot can happen between now and then and it gives you plenty of time to get your resume fine tuned. At least it not hanging over your head.

I know.. I will be ok..Just hard to take it all in

I'm so sorry..That's a big change that you'll have to get used to. I didn't notice you being testy at all, but I sure as hell couldn't blame you if you were!

Hang in there..A lot can happen between now and then. I know it's going to be hard, but keep your chin up. It'll work out the way it's supposed to. And don't forget..We're here for you.

Judy, I'm so sorry to hear about the layoff. It's hard after so many years. I'm glad they gave you some advance notice. It'll give you time to go over your options. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll find a good job close to home.

Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:26 pm Subject:

I, too am sorry to hear that. I do hope that all works out ok for you.

Posted: Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:54 pm Subject:

Thanks to everyone.. I just need to process everything and go home and have a good cry.

Judy, I'm so sorry to hear that! Seems like a lot of changes going on for a lot of people on the forums right now, and not all of them good. I know you'll find something else soon, and probably better! Keep your chin up and call me if you need to! Very Happy

Wow, that's a real shame!
My advice to you is to take advantage of everything your company offers: severance and any type of help in getting a new job. Although it still stinks, the fact that they gave almost 4-months notice is a good thing. Will they take anyone with them?
Hang in there, like Fins said, we're just a mouseclick away!

They are offering a couple jobs and you have a choice to go.. but my position is going back to Japan... I am going to talk to my boss today about one job in SC.. the others are in Chicago ( I am from there and dont want to go back) But I have a large network in the field that I am in.. Just need to put the word out when I am ready I know I will be fine the hard part is that I am actually the new person everyone else has been here 10 years plus so we are like a family. And that will be hard to give up..
But thanks for all the support..
Judy

Well I came in this morning and put my hat in the ring for South Carolina.. I guess I will know in a few weeks But I am ready to go if they will take me. Spoke to my son last night and he is supporting my choice.. If he cant make it on his own he will go stay with his Dad or join me ( of course he could be in school in Vermont) that would be the best. But I think that SC could be good for me... a new start. I will post when I know.. BUT if not I will get a job here in CAL.
thanks everyone for the kind words..
Judy
