you now belong to the 10% of Americans on the same boat. Sorry to hear about the misfortune. Maybe better things on down the road, who knows?

Sorry to hear that.

Business is bad everywhere.

If something doesn't happen here pretty soon, I'm going to have to lay myself off.

Sorry to hear you lost your job. How many others were also laid off? How big is the company and what is their product?

Sorry Karl. But you're a smart dude, I'm sure you'll land on your feet, just a bump in the road.

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

The company makes retail store fixtures. Ever seen the big Behr paint display at a Home Depot? That's ours. We make the stuff you see everyday in stores, but never pay attention to.

We design, engineer, and manufacture. I worked in engineering building prototypes, testing, and value engineering. Spent a lot of time programming for CNC routers, ans mills.

This was the 3rd round, and they all but shut the doors. There is nothing on the horizon for a few months, so they kept only project managers to maintain jobs already going.

Engineering, art, assembly, shipping...everyone cut.

There are 5 partners, President, art/design manager, the CFO, engineering manager, and the head of project management. They'll have to git-r-done if something does come up. None of them have a clue how to make the routers work, so I may be doing some consulting if I don't land something solid....and I'm gonna be expensive

Some scuttlebutt has the doors shut by the end of the year.

Find yourselves a job in the beer business guys. The pay is fair and it is a recession proof industry. Sorry to hear about your luck. I'm serious btw.

Same thing happened kind of to my buddy, he now "consults" for his former company when they are stuck and he makes more now than before plus has more time for riding. haha

Good luck
