Layoffs at work...

PharmacyQueen · October 2012

So I come in to work today thinking nothing of it, going to be the same as always. Boy was I wrong. I work at home, we were bought out my another company this spring and were told part of the reason they bought us was for the job that I perform, so we have been told we were safe! "organization mtg" were set up on some of my collegues calendars today, they were told they were fired and not allowed to go back to their desk and had to log out immediately...absolutely NO warning what so ever. Now there are only less than 1/2 of us left. I am so afraid when I will get cut, I am sure it is just a matter of time. With a baby on the way and I am the bread winner at our home makes things really stressful right now. I dont even know where to begin. I guess I just needed to vent, DH would not even return my calls today or text me back even though he knew I might lose my job at any moment, I am really frusterated with him. I need him now, even if he was busy, take 5 min on lunch and call me! Thanks ladies!!

good luck! thinking of you. that happened to my husband last year 3 months before our wedding. you will get through it!

I'm sorry to hear that. I lost my previous job with no warning and survived a round of layoffs at the job before that. It is tough. Keep your head up and work hard. Hopefully all will be well.

You will make it through this no matter what happens. Think about all the good things you do at your job. Think about all your talents/skills/energy. You will be okay either with this company or somewhere else.

I (along with many at my computer) lost my job 3 weeks ago without a warning, hang in there, and if you want to talk PM me. I've gotten over the shock and trying to move forward...Sorry you have to deal with it too..you will get through this.

I'm so sorry, that happened to me a few years ago and it was so stressful. We all knew it was coming, and the stress of waiting for the other shoe to drop was the worst. Just hang in there, and try to look at the bright side of things. From the minute the first round of layoffs happened at my company, we all had head hunters calling us constantly, and I actually ended up with a better paying job in the end. On the other end of the spectrum, my sister has worked for the same mortgage company since college and has survived many, many rounds of layoffs. You just never know how it's going to work out in the end!

Ugh, that's a bad day, alright. So sorry to hear there's so much bad change happening at your job And even worse that your DH can't - or won't - be reached. He'd be doing some serious making-up to me if I could rely on him being there in my time of need!

Hopefully, you'll be one of the ones that stay....?

Definitely stay positive, although it can be difficult. I work in pharma so there is constant restructuring, merging and layoffs. It's very stressful sometimes. We were bought out by another company a few years ago and we all started looking for work. Turns out they let everyone go except for me so you never know. And if by chance you are let go, think of it as a chance to find something better. (Trying to convince my husband of this now as he was let go with many others at his job last week)
