I'm not really all that sad (except I really wanted to be laid off and get a severance) and I had been persona-non-grata for the last couple weeks, so I knew something was coming (I only had one tiny box of $hit)
But
It was for something I didn't do. (there was lots I did do), that's the really sad part. I f*cking hate HR pricks.

So, my side business better start going. (ring phone, ring!)

So, if anyone needs some fields mowed, or pastures maintained, gimme a call.

Just sitting here venting.

sorry to hear that, it sucks.
Good luck on the hunt for something new

I agree with you on the HR people, I have only met one HR person I really got along with in my entire life.

Sorry to hear this. On another note, you want your name changed here? We can do that rather easy. If so, send me a PM and we can set up a time to do it. That way when you log on, you will know to use your new name. [Wink] Karl.

I am out of job for amost 15month.... First 3month was awsome, but it got really boring. I am in the job market since 06 oct, and only had handful of interviews.

I think getting a loan to go back to school for more degree is out of question for me as well. I wish everyone the best luck (including myself) who does not have a job they are happy with. Colorado job market sucks , except the telecommunication sector.

Sorry to hear that Brian

One route to some $$$ from them might be a quick talk with an employment attorney

If their reason stated was bogus you probably got a case

Or at the very least a reason for them to offer you some $$$

some years ago the company I worked for had some ads in the paper for jobs that were a higher level than the one I had, so I went in to talk to H.R. about it and they said they were only running the ads to see what the job pool was like. maybe this is what they were up to. at the time they were hiring a lot of people from southeast Asia.
