Job suckage

Fast breaking news:
I have been sacked. Sort of.

My company has been doing poorly the last few months and took a hit last week. In response, they are trimming staff. Not a happy thing on anybody’s part. I am part of the trim which makes complete sense since it has been hard to find enough work to keep me busy 20 hours a week.

But they need my skills for about 8-10 hours a month. We are trying to work out a way for me to come in at the very beginning of the month to do the reports they need. I still need another job to support myself. If I end up working and can’t give these guys the time, I actually built the system such that I could do remotely and so I would be able to do the work during my off time. That would mean extra money which is good right now.

I am sad that this is happening. It isn’t anyone’s fault and they have glowing reports of my work so that is very good. I still need another job. But I can come and hang out here.

There is good in it but it still sucks rotten eggs. Welcome to change. Baaa

  1. That is the suck. :-(

    Sorry you got sacked. Thinking positive thoughts for The Gina. Hope other, better, more fun, higher-paying, and more fullfilling work comes along.

      1. It’s certainly worth a shot, though I do not personally know of a position here, but then again I’m in the wrong part of the organization. There is a rather large marketing and communications branch that might be more furtile ground. I could do some nosing around and see if I can find a specific position for you to apply for, contact person etc.

        I was just doing a job search to check the water (something I do periodically, call me paranoid) and came across a fair number of listings.

  2. That is quite unfortunate. I hope you are able to find something quickly, and possibly work out something with your current employers, because extra money is sometimes a good thing.

  3. Bah. Sorry to hear that.

    Come swimming w/ me TH night. Gets you out of the house and gives me motivation to actually go to the gym.

    PS: Can I impose upon you to arrive a tad early for dinner on Saturday (about 5-ish)to give me a hand getting the finishing touches finished?

    1. Impose? You are the hostess with the mostest, I am glad to provide assistance to help you out. You are so nice to us in treating us to this fabo dinner. It would be my pleasure. I now have you booked at 5pm. And I might even follow through since you actually need me to do something.
