Well, I'm feeling like crap right now since my boss just told me I will be included in a series of cuts they will be doing in the next few weeks. She didn't have to tell me until next week but we're good friends as well so she decided to tell me in advance so I can start looking right away. Apparently, they will be outsourcing some positions & mine became one of them. So now I'm in a search for a new job. Anyone have any openings or know of any?

I'm an Ops/Production Manger with an IT background.

Damn this sucks

Ouch bro. I'll talk to my people.

 

Sorry about that... just have to go through the rain to see the sunshine.
I'll ask some of my folks for any openings.

 

My Mom's an IT recruiter for Mercury Ins. I dont know if your willing to relocate .

 

Sorry to hear that, man. The job market is pretty good right now, so I don't think you'll have problem finding another job.

Good luck.

 

Sorry to hear that James. Same thing happened to me about 3 years ago when I was at Intel. I'll keep my eye out for you.

 

I wish I had more to add other than Sorry to hear that. The company that I work for has been a little shakey lately so, I have been worrying about the same thing. Good luck.

 

Thanks for all the support everyone. I'm already starting to update my resume which it hasn't been for a long time. Still a little shocked from it but I'm pretty confident I'll find something. We'll see how things go. I'll keep you guys posted...

 

Good luck man... I've been laid off 3 times... all during the dot com bust and then post 9/11, so I know the feeling!

Best piece of advice I got was take time to relax and re-evaluate your goals in life and before you know it, an opportunity will present itself...Whether it be in the same line of work or better yet, in a field you are REALLY interested in...

Find out who they're outsourcing to and offer your services to ease the transition.

 

im interested! i need a new job. and im in So Cal!

 

Please PM me also, My mortgage company is going down the drain. I have a resume ready.

Sorry to thread jack GT....but i'm in the same boat. =(

 

This isnt a set back, its an oppurtunity. Stay focused and you will be fine

 

Sorry to hear. You probably already know, but you should be eligible to collect unemployment insurance if you're laid off, so at least you won't be in a total financial bind and able to pay some bills. Keep us posted.

 

Sorry James But like what was said earlier, the IT job market is now on an ever so slight upsurge which is a good thing... and you're in the South Bay which is a double plus for tech jobs. Good luck man, everything will work out for you.

 

Wow I didnt know my post would be that popular

(my350z peeps take over mercury insurance )

If you guys are serious I can't say anything is for sure but I can help along in the process ultimately it's my mom's decision she has a knack for knowing good workers.

 

Sorry to hear that. It happens to all of us and you just drew the unlucky ticket this time. Like RNL323 said it's an opportunity and your in a great location too. The best thing that happened to me 4 years ago was getting laid off. Now I'm in a Co. that's kicking *** right now and I'm so glad I'm not at the other place that whacked me. I just hope the current gig keeps it up for a while longer, but it never lasts forever. You'll be fine.

 

Good Luck, Bro. I hope you find something soon. Take care.

 

**** man im tryin to get laid off hahaha
