C just got laid off.

2 months severance, which is helpful. I'm trying to look at it as a blessing in disguise. Maybe in that 2 months he'll be able to get the business going. Hopefully he'll either have some success with that or he'll find something new.

I'm not sure how to feel about it.

Re: C just got laid off.

  • That sucks!  But like you said maybe it is a blessing in disguise.  Good luck.  This economy is the worst!

  • Aw Jene, dammit, I am sorry.  Even if it does turn out to be a blessing in disguise, the timing is bad.  I'm sure you're kind of numb in a way right now.  HUGS to you........

  • I think it's a good thing I'm so swamped at work today, I can't put too much thought into WTF we're going to do without that income....

  • Ugh, I am so sorry to hear that! I'll be thinking of you guys! I hope it turns out for the best.
  • I'm so sorry to hear this. This economy is so awful. I hope he is able to find something else.

  • I'm so sorry.  It's probably not the best timing, but it's good that he has the option of starting the business.

  • Ugh!  I'm so sick of seeing/hearing this stuff everyday (Not from you guys, I just mean in general, that it's happening!)  I hope things work out for you and hopefully it will be a blessing!   My friend got laid off in December and got a job in Jan with a better competing company that she couldn't have gone to if not for being laid off!  (She had no compete contract!)  Sometimes I guess better things can come from it!   I'll keep you guys in my thoughts!

  • I'm so sorry to here this...I'm sure he will be successful in his business or finding a new job!  All the best!
  • I am so sorry, but you should be so happy and jumping up and down. Both of you will be so glad that he is out of there. The grass is truly greener on the other side.

    While the income was nice, I'm sure C will not have a problem finding something else. I bet his business will flourish and it will be a blessing in disguise.

    Have a glass of wine tonight and try not to think about the money. Focus on the positives. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

  • I'm so sorry - I hope, like you said it turns into a positive situation for you. Best of luck to you guys!
  • I'm sorry :-(

    I hope he can get the business off the ground or falls into something awesome. 

  • I am so sorry to hear this. DH works for the Enquirer and they're also a company that's been shaky lately. That's good C got a severance. And think of all the time he can stay home and hang out with Baby C. That will save some $ right there! Good luck with everything!

  • I'm sorry.  It sucks.  I got 10 weeks severance pay and like you said it does help.  Who carries the insurance for the family?  I just heard that if you get COBRA ins that the govt will pay 65% of it. 

    I think my layoff was a blessing in disguise although the next 2 years are going to be tough it will be worth it in the end.

  • Sorry to hear that, I hope you are right in it being a blessing in disguise.
  • I'm soo sorry to hear that!  I think it could be a blessing in disguise-- and 2 months severence is better than nothing. 

    DH has had numerous jobs since we've been married, and I've come to the resolution that somehow we always make it work.  When one job ends, the next one is always better than the one before.  Hopefully he finds something he likes even more.  HTH!

  • Sorry to hear this!  Hope everything works out!

  • Oh my....my heart sank when I read your title. I've been dreading this for you (and everyone) since all of the layoffs have really bumped up and a you were posting about being worried. 

    I know things will work out for the best but sometime's it's hard to see the light really really far down at the end of the tunnel.  Let C know that the ladies on the nest are thinking about him and cheering him on ;)
