company restructuring. 45 of us. gone. it's not even friday yet, to top it off it's raining.
what really kicks me in the pants is that i thought this would be my last job i'd ever have. i was days away from being here for one full year. you gotta be kidding me.
it's things like this that completely ruin my resume.
haha. maybe i deserved this. maybe it's karma, mojo, vibes. whatever.
if anyone knows of anything in the chicagoland and suburbs for a ui, ux designer email me please.
feel free to kick me while i'm down. make this day as absolutely impossible as it can be while i sit here and figure out what the heck i'm going to do, how i'm going ot tell my wife, how i'm going to pay the mortgage, car, ins, blah blah unbelievable.
i deserved this

Holy shit that sucks...but thats what you get for being such an asshole. ;)
Nah, seriously...that really sucks. I only have contacts here in Denver, I don't know anybody out there in Chi-town. You'll end up at a better place.

I'm sorry my friend. But while you think you had the best job ever - there is always a better one nearby.
I'll keep my eyes open and shout in your favor to whatever connections I have in IL.
Remember, things always have a way of working out one way or the other.

sorry to hear bro. but don't be so hard on yourself... i don't believe for one sec that you deserved this.
your wife will understand and support you.
you're a quality guy who does quality work. you'll find something even better... I am sure this will just be a blessing in disguise.

Augh shit man, I'm so sorry to hear about that - within days of a year too - presumably that means you miss out on some of your worker rights? That's exactly how it happened to me the one time I was made redundant (from a great job, too).
Still, take it as some kind of positive - a job for life is a scary prospect, no? You're good - you'll find something else easily enough, I'm sure.
Perhaps your last year spent on NT will come in useful.. contact-wise? :P
Good luck, man

aw, man...
Really shitty news... hang in there though - 45 people at a time isn't a direct infliction on k0na... soooo... yeah... take heart that it's just dumb down-sizing and that you can get right back at it.
:) best wishes, dudely... i can't say much more shit about a shitty situation... other than... 'chin up... it's just a silly bump in the road.'

I also remember when you first posted about this job and...I'm really surprised.
Good luck, Doug.
You're a good person.
