C just got laid off.

jerseygirl81

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.

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

sistrkate

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........

andailey

Aw, jersey, I am so sorry you guys are going through this right now! I truly hope that all will work out with your husband's plans for his own business. I'll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers!

awinning

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts.

mrs.george2be04

I'm so sorry.   I was hoping it wouldn't come to that.  I'm glad he is at least getting severance.  (((HUGS)))

jerseygirl81

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....

alisonada

Ugh, I am so sorry to hear that! I'll be thinking of you guys! I hope it turns out for the best.

teacherjess

I'm so sorry to hear this. This economy is so awful. I hope he is able to find something else.

PirateGirl04

I'm sorry to hear this.  Hopefully he will find something better

pinkylu

I'm really sorry to hear this.  I hope everything works out for the best for your family.

KristenBtobe

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

Dani3679

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!

escape1st

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!

IAM4UK

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.

mizbiz

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

steve&heather

I'm sorry :-(

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

klee411

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!

ELucky14

I am so sorry to hear that!

MelissaMc22

I'll be thinking of you guys, keep us posted!!

cops_wife

I am so sorry. Does he still have an opportunity to work for your dad? This economy just blows. Hang in there.

becca070707Ken

That sucks!! The economy is just awful right now. I hope his business picks up. I'll pray for you guys. BTW- I love little C's new pic. He is getting so big.

Rose.9.6.03

Ugh, I'm so sorry.  I hope that he has success with his business and that you don't need to worry about finances for long. 

lisamm1

That stinks!  I'm so sorry.  I hope everything works out for the better!

Matilda&Leon

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.

punkrawkmom44

Sorry to hear that, I hope you are right in it being a blessing in disguise.

kel716

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!

JLPT830

Sorry to hear this!  Hope everything works out!

vbmeg

Oh I am so sorry to hear that. This all really sucks right now. My dad just got laid of yesterday. Like you said, hopefully it is a blessing in disguise.

hav2run

I am so sorry you are having to deal with that.  I hope you are right, and you will find the blessing in it.  Good luck with the new business.

Lucky_N_Love

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

Megs&Nick

I'm so sorry to hear this.  I hope he's able to get his business off the ground quickly and that this layoff is truly for the better.

doodlebug914

Jene, I am so sorry!  I'm glad that he got a severance package and I hope this turns into a great opportunity for your family.  You'll be in my prayers!!

MrsMoher

I am so sorry to hear that.  I wish you all the best of luck!!!

futuremrs.inman

Oh I'm so sorry! Hope everything turns out ok!
