That sucks big time Chris but I'm glad that you have been able to deal with it all. Good luck with the internship, hope that it leads to a permanent gig. It seemed to work for Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson no reason it can't for you.
Thanks. I'm starting to get a little excited for it. It starts next Monday. I'm sure that if it doesn't lead to a job with this agency, another will pick me up. I'm certainly meeting a lot of high ranking and well-positioned people who have the power to hire me if they want.
That sucks. Glad to hear you and DW have an emergency fund to absorb the loss.
It's weird how this is working out. We have more money now than when this all started. Quick- everyone get laid off!! It's a great investment!
Sorry to hear Chis. Dw is in hr, she hit 50/20 last year. ( one is her age and one is years of service, you pick.lol)
When you hit the magic number of 70, you qualify for full retirement and benifits. That's what she needed to get.
They tend to not let you get to 70 and some how she slipped through the cracks I guess. He department is growing like crazy, she just goes to work, looks straight ahead and smiles.
She keeps an empty box by her desk, she said they will keep her there just to be p;-?ks. If she gets cut loose now, she qualifies for full retirement with benifits and a nice severance. She said she will call me to call the realtor and we will be heading south lol !!! You have to love corporate amaerican.
You never think it can happen to you until it does. This has definitely changed the way I will think about "Career" for the next 20 years.
Not here. You'll only get half the wit.
Oh, I get it. Cuz everyone here is a half-wit, right?
My smilies aren't working, so... hi.
So after you did that, would you come to the DISdads thread?
Yep, I come here to feel smart.
Ah. I know you're neighbour. We probably all do.
He seems to work everywhere.
A cliffhanger? Ha! Didn't work! You posted too soon.
I was in a rush. Not my best work.
this neighbour of yours... did he he ever walk out to his car to discover 4 flat tires?
No, but I notice this is the second time you misspelled "neighbor". British? Canadian?
Uh, huh. And you believed him, right?
He had been good to me for 11 years, so yeah.
Just like that.
Maybe this is a company that you're better off not working for anyway.
They were a great employer for everyday except the last one. Top 100 companies to work for 8 years in a row.
Good luck with the upcoming position.
Thanks!!
Sorry to hear that Chris and glad that you have a plan and an emergency fund. Prayers that you have peace and a successful internship and job search.
Thanks. It should be an adventure.
Yeah, I have to say everything that went down with you at that job seems crummy. Glad it looks like you are bouncing back, and have a plan to move forward.
This is about my third or fourth plan. Sooner or later, one of them is going to stick.
Sorry to hear of the complications Chris. Good luck with the internship and getting the position when it's available. The good part is you get to hang on here with us again.
Just what I was thinking. More Dis time never hurt anyone.. or has it?
You did take the stapler, right?!?
It crossed my mind, but the HR lady was standing right there. I couldn't even grab my old reviews to help build a resume.
Wow...that just plain sucks. I'm sorry you had to deal with all that. Hoping and praying the internship turns into a solid job, and that the severance package holds over until then.
Severance + tax refund = much less stress. Plus, there are a lot of people willing to pay whatever it takes to get their kids good scores on college entrance exams. That's where I come in.
Chris-Sorry to hear about the situation. I may go to the Everglades next week so I can pick up a few scorpions and a python or two. Just send me the address where you want them shipped and I will take care of the rest. Gators may be a bit hard to ship though.
Send baby gators - much easier to ship. I'll raise them til they're big enough.
The rest of you blokes, have a good weekend...
"Blokes"? Hanging out with the Brit too much.
I always bring my spare key. I ask one time and you have 30 seconds to bring it too me. If not, I'll be back with the what ever local police department and he will get my keys back. TOUCH DOWN, your keys are back in 15 seconds. Lol
I just bought a new van, they gave me almost 9k off sticker, mostly rebates. My Benz had 24k on it and not a scratch inside or out.
Kbb said highest wast 24,700. This little DH came back at 22k w/2k down. He starts whining what a great deal I got that I should give him something. Lol I got 24k, they made money.
I told this clown I'll walk out, I have a nice car and there is a car dealer on every street corner and I'll find the " prostitute " lol that will give me what I want.lol
I also gave him the three dealers I walked out of over the last few years names. Lol
I hate to be a donkey but you got to treat those dirt bags the way they treat you.
It's great looking at there face when you hold up your spare key.lol I told this last bottom crawler, " I'm not a rookie" lol
Did I mention my old employer was a major auto retailer?
Top O the Mornin Dads and have a good weekend! Been a nonstop week here in Orlando setting up our exhibit booth. Between that and trying to keep up with regular job stuff long days and no time to check in here. All caught up for the week now and gonna head to Disney Springs today with some of my team as we actually finished our exhibit set up a day early.
On the family front, just got message from DS that he took 1st place at TSA regional competition for the house rehab he designed and 3D model he 3D printed. The roof panels come off to view the inside rooms as well. We has been working on this project since last fall and great to see the hard work pay off.
Sorry to hear Chris and all the best for you.
Anyone else feel threatened that a kid can produce stuff like this and most of us couldn't?
It's more expensive, but I can get on a plane and be there in about the same amount of time as waiting for TSMM in the standby line.
No wonder it takes most people a long time to do the laundry.
