Just got retrenched ):

[BobsLawnService]

Ouch. Not a happy camper.

 

[RazedInBlack]

Eish!

Do you really work for a lawn service?

 

[Voicy]

Awh crapsticks dude

My condolences. Best you get UIF and everything sorted pronto! Make sure your employer gives you one massive letter of referral too.

 

[shakes1]

Sorry I'm sure there's something better out there waiting for you!

 

[xrapidx]

My biggest fear - except I'm a contractor, so 'retrenchment' comes with nothing

Nope, it's a reference from a song.

Retrenchment is good mate, I asked for mine and all worked out well. Just be possitive, this could be just what you needed to get your lazy arse into gear (worked for me )

 

[gumpie]

The same thing happened to me in June. I started a new job yesterday. Just be positive.

[ElementZero]

What line of work are you in ?

 

[BobsLawnService]

I'm in IT. I'm a programmer.

 

[saliehendricks]

What languages do you code in? Post a cv - I know we may be looking for devs soon.

I got retrenched last year, one of the best things that ever happened to me.

Easier said than done - the more you get paid, the more difficult it is to find another job offering the same. I'd go under within a month if I lost my job - to find one offering the same 'salary' would take months.

I'm in a similar position. I don't earn a hell of a lot but lower level jobs are easier to find.

I must say, as it is sinking in I'm finsing it harder to be positive. I'm really worried about my family.

This f**#&@ economy :-(
