Just Got Laid Off

10-21-2009, 02:12 PM

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?

markem · 10-21-2009, 02:16 PM

Sad news, Al, hope you find something soon.

Nope, not a dime.

Man, that sucks! Best of luck on a safe landing.

e-man67 · 10-21-2009, 02:18 PM

Prayers your way for sure! Good Luck and keep your chin up!

MedicCook · 10-21-2009, 02:15 PM

Sorry to hear Al. It is defiantely time for you to get some good breaks. I will keep you in my thoughts.

The Poet · 10-21-2009, 02:17 PM

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.

Blindjimme · 10-21-2009, 02:19 PM

That sucks. I hate to hear that Al. Positive thoughts for you brother. You won't be out long.

G G · 10-21-2009, 02:19 PM

Sorry to hear that Al, and will be praying for something better to come along soon.

Col. Kurtz · 10-21-2009, 02:20 PM

Sorry to hear about that Al. I've been in the same boat and IT SUCKS!

Keep moving, friend.

McSmokey · 10-21-2009, 02:21 PM

Prayers sent and best of luck to you

kelmac07 · 10-21-2009, 02:25 PM

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.

chippewastud79 · 10-21-2009, 02:32 PM

When one door closes, another one opens. Prayers for quick turnover on the job front.

Glad you got something while you look for something else.

I wish my boss would open the door and lay me off

I ask him every Monday morning.

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.

cigarmonkel · 10-21-2009, 07:06 PM

damn brother sorry to hear the terrible news

. Hang in there Al, what doesn't kill ya only makes ya stronger. I've had a pretty shitty week myself between putting my child hood dog i grew up with down, family issues and cutting my thumb to the bone at work. Just keep putting one foot forward and keep trucking brother. You'll be in my prayers and thoughts. Keep your head up!

on the bright side.. more smoke time!

Don Fernando · 10-21-2009, 02:34 PM

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.

14holestogie · 10-21-2009, 02:38 PM

Sorry to hear that, Al. You sure have taken more than your share of bad news in the last year or so. Here's hope and some prayers that the cycle turns around quickly and you get to reap some positives in the near future.

kayak_rat · 10-21-2009, 02:35 PM

How do you feel about relocation? WalMart, JB Hunt, FedEx, etc here in NW Arkansas.
