More budget cuts (I'm one of them)
« on: October 19, 2010, 10:55:48 AM »
At my place of employment, it was found out today that there was no money left in the Helpdesk payroll line. That means myself and 2 other guys are now unemployed.

Sorry, Dave.  At least you don't have to deal with irritating coworkers any more.

Unfortunately it's my "tier2" fellows that do all the annoying stuff. They get to keep thier jobs. I'm feeling a bit vindictive and the Network Admins not too happy about this either. The other guys are too dang dense to help him out.

BTW gmonkey, I love that avatar. Smoking monkeys rock!

Hey man that sucks. You will find something. In the mean time just chill and enjoy no commute for a while.

Sometimes I wish I could kick back and draw unemployment, but I have never lost a job in my 46 year work history for more than a couple of months.

Hopeing that my employer will fire me so I can sue him for WT (wrongful termination) and collect a large settlement, but no such luck.
Take your unemployment, u paid into it all those years.
