Not the end of the world
Sep. 15th, 2011 03:33 pmWell, I got let go from work. More details later. Right now I've come home, told green_trilobite, calmed him down, and we're going grocery-shopping.
ETA 4:23 pm - Ok, so basically I'm not that surprised - the company changed their product line *and* their factory set up (and their database software) at the start of this year, and without going into detail, the transition has been anything but smooth - I'm sure they've taken some financial knocks as a result. Also, they'd been giving me fewer things to do for the last couple of months, and they were training some new people - some of whom I think were also let go today, while the remaining one probably became my replacement.
They're giving me six weeks pay in lieu of notice, a letter of recommendation, and my medical insurance continues until the end of October; all things I didn't get the last time I was fired from anywhere, so I'm not feeling too bad. Tomorrow I'll try the temp agency that got me this placement three years ago.
