F... Layoffs.

Monday morning I got laid. OFF. Now, I also have a business that I run and a couple of other small means of income on the side, but I had a full time job that I wasn't planning on leaving until May (if even then).

It really pisses me off that they waited until monday morning, when the 2 main guys at the plant would be gone and they had the safety guy (who's like their errand boy because he's married to the owner's niece) who's a nice guy deliver the news.

I made it through 3 rounds, but since I was one of the newest guys at the plant, and made as much as and more money than many of the guys that had been there for 20+ years my number came up in round 3.

They promised to call me back first chance but that doesn't really do much for me. I filed for unemployment benefits, so we'll see how that goes. Its only wednesday and I'm already going a little stir-crazy.

Anybody else going through this? Any suggestions?

Also, if anyone in the NOVA area needs any electrical work let me know. We're licensed, insured, and will give discounts to warpathers!
