Sorry to hear that man. When Chick-Fil-A corp laid me off, I had just told my boss we were expecting a baby (told him on Wed and that Friday I was laid off). It was a long BS story....but good timing for YOU is not what companies look at.
Work those leads and be diligent man. There are jobs out there, you just have to be on your "A" game.
If you're in IT, PM me and I'll check some leads I have (whats your maximum drive area?)
I'm still down for this meet, by the way (Summit Racing Toys For Tots).
***Edit***
I had it in my head that this was going to be on Dec 2nd...So I'm double checking my schedule.
But Pardue - If you want to make this meet, I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd be willing to chip in for gas.
Companies definitely do not care about timing on the employee end. I am actually an experienced Parts Manager but unfortunately I don't have IT experience.
Man I really appreciate the offer for gas but I can't do that. I appreciate the offer more than you know though.
