Layed off! After 3.5 years with a smaller sized agency. Horseshit. a bit shocked, but that's business. oh man, should've seen it coming with the slowdown.
Oh well, I thought I'd post here and maybe get some pity. Two weeks of severance, I need to gather my projects and make a book. After this beer, of course.

At least the market is decent here - where did you work if you don't mind sharing (I'm in mpls too)
- yeah, I'm sure I'll find something for the better. FusionHill was the agency. Smaller sized.play

I'm sorry to hear that, man. You'll no doubt be fine though. Update your portfolio and resumé immediately, and move on to something better. Good luck!- thanks Doctor! Now how about some prozac?play

Sorry to hear that. What is the job market like in Minneapolis these days?
- non-format seems to be doing well...doesnotexist
- the market seems well for interactive work. Print work is a bit harder to find a good spot.play

No bridges will be burned. It's a business decision, and I like my boss. my old boss, i mean (wtf). It was actually a tremendously great experience to witness a small agency grow from the ground up. and now It's the end of the chapter, and on to the next.
- hat's off, play. Tough spot to be in and it does suck, but it won't last.capsize

I think Knock is building up some contractors if you need something short term... I know they need flash dev but am unsure about designers.
- Hey thanks, man! I think I have a contact over there ...play

When my dad got his curve he didn't know how to use it because he hates reading the manual.
My parents are so tech-tarded.....

Two and a half weeks after 3 and a half years? Huh.
I hope you pick up some new work easily - as others have said, fight the urge to be angry with them, if you were there that long, it must've been a hard decision for them to take. Besides, there might always be the prospect of lucrative freelance work for them, to fill in their skills gap in the short-term.
Good luck - things'll come good, you'll see.
