Sucks. I kinda knew it was coming, but still sucks.

So you lived like a dermatologist for a while.Texaggie7nine said:
Had something similar happen with my last job about 5 years ago. Except I was given the option to move to Pittsburgh to keep my job or be laid off. I said screw Pittsburgh. Got like 3 months severance, plus I had about a month of paid vacay on top.
Still sucks to no know what will happen. Especially the last year of my last job, I knew it was coming, so I was living in constant fear that it could happen any time.
Once it happened, since I had 4 months of pay, I decided the first month I was just going to enjoy it and start looking for another job after the first month. That first month was probably the best month of my life. Golf every day (finally got a hole in one), hang out every night, sleep in in the mornings... Man, why can't life just be like that?
Anywho, I came across a job posting on Monster when I started looking and I had that job within a week and am much happier here. Also this job lead me into finding my wife. So there's that.
Most likely, a year from now you will be happy you changed and have the weight off your back of constantly wondering if your job was going to be gone.

It does sound amazing. I figure my trip down layoff lane is bound to happen at some point. My company seems to regularly cycle out people with experience.

My company has been known for that too. And with my name you can see I'm crossing that threshold.IDAGG said:Yeah, mine too. We refer to it as "he/she caught a case of the over 50 disease."Frok said:
