Just Got Laid Off
 
First time since I was eight years old that I haven't had a job.

Anybody know of anyone hiring in the Logistics Transportation field please shoot me a PM.

Other than that any prayers you could spare would be much appreciated.

Prayers sent bro, that sucks!

Did they at least hook you up with a nice severance package?

Nope, not a dime.

Best of luck to you, Al, and don't sweat it too much. Consider the birds of the air, and all that.

Me, I've been laid off more often than a hooker's teddy, and I've always made it through.

Al...sorry to hear the bad news brother. On a good note (not sure if you are looking to relocate or not) but there are TONS of logistics transportation jobs at Fort Lee, Virginia. Being a logistician/transporter for the Army for 23 years...they are looking for us. Thoughts your way brother.

That sucks Al, I was afraid this was going to happen when you told that your health insurance was cancelled. I hope you find a new job soon.

If you can possibly swing the relo, take their advice and look into it. We'd love to have you down here in VCM territory! And Virginia's economy is actually doing better than most of the country.

On a personal note, I'm sorry to hear of this set back, Al. :(
