So I was called to a meeting last wednesday and told that we will be laid off as of February 15, 2010. Then immediatly we had to sign a paper that we would stay and continue to do our jobs until then and get 2 weeks severance or leave now and get two weeks severance. I was in the middle of a quarterly report so I just went back to work.
I would say that I was in shock that day, it didn't hit me until I pulled onto my street and looked at my house. How would I go into my house and tell my kids that I had failed and that I couldn't provide for them anymore???
I had put my whole being into this company for the past 4 years.
I started as a file clerk
and when they relized I had HR experience that added that to my job,
then they wanted me to be the Admin Assit,
then accounts payable,
then they wanted to switch to a new accounting system so I learned the new system so I could set everything up.
Then I was the IT department
and the trainer.
Then they needed someone to handle compliance of low income units so I took a lot of classes and did that.
The day after I was depressed and confused. Then by Friday I was angry. By Friday afternoon I was ok, I decided to look at this as the beginning of the next chapter of my life. Hopefully I will be putting myself in the perfect position to finally meet Mr. Right. I will find a job that appreciates me as much as I appreciate it.
