Go, Be Successful Elsewhere!
Friday, 03. April 2009“Sacked!”
“Given the boxes!”
“Shown the door!”
“Eliminated!”
“Laid off!”
“Terminated!”
“Tossed out with the garbage!”
At 3:30 pm this afternoon, I was called into the conference room and told that my position was eliminated by my employer and that my employment was terminated effective immediately. I had worked for them for over eleven years (this round – a year and a half nearly two decades ago) with excellent annual reviews each year. The reason given was the economy, and by the way I was not alone. Many others were let go at the same time.
Please send any large cardboard boxes to Lake Gonebelow and long with directions to any sightings of vacant, unclaimed steamy grates.

That’s a wrap.
Sending HUGS to all!
oh my gosh, i’m so sorry to hear YET ANOTHER tale of terrible times. I know it’s going to be difficult. I send you wishes for strong ability to cope and sort things out. hugs.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that Lem. I’ll be thinking of you and hope that you find something quickly!
I have hope. Hope that you will get another job. And hope that they paid you severance which will see you through until you get that new job.
I’m sorry to hear about this. I hope that you get to enjoy some down time nonetheless. Good luck sir.
What a shock, sorry to hear.
I hope another door of opportunity opens for you SOON!
It always amazes me that employers can wait until the very last minute to fire someone, but if an employee decides to quit without notice they run the risk of being labeled unreliable.
Bastards!
You are in my prayers.
As stated above, another door will open.
I am so sorry Lem!!!!
I am so sorry to hear of this!
Lem, not so long ago you pointed out how long you had to go to retirement. This is far too early to retire.
I do hope you find something else. Companies should know that kicking out staff with a lot of knowledge makes it even worse for them to stay afloat.
Sending good vibes across the Big Pond.
Oh my goodness!
only consoluation is you are not alone – so many have experienced this.
and you are not alone for support.
I am sad.
Oh Lem! I am so sorry to the news. I am certain that someone with your knowledge should not languish for long on the ranks of the unemployed. Just take care of yourself and be kind to yourself during this time.
Sorry to hear this- it’s an all too common story these days. Take care.
Add my “sorry to hear that” to the long list of comments above. Prayers and thoughts are with you as you transition to what comes next.
I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Wow
I am saddened by this latest news. May it quickly become old news as a new job is filled for you.
(((((((Lem)))))))
Hey, I’ve been there. Not fun. The worse part to me is the sense that you’re so easily replaced … by NOTHING!
I hope you work it out quickly.
