I should be getting my severance information next week. I will probably be her at least another couple months after that but then I'm not sure what i'm going to do. I've been here 11 years (since I was 21) I have a few opportunities but none of them are close to my current pay.
so ya I'm nervous as hell right nowComment

Something similar happened to me several years ago.Originally posted by 2165 Turbo Rail View Post
After a decade in the same company, I had to change industries and never did get back to the same pay scale.
It sucks, but sometimes you have to roll with the punches....Comment

I cn understand being nervous, but take stock in that you have it good as it gets for someone being laid off. Severance, and only two days without a check is pretty good, especially in the current job market.
Just curious, did you have to take a big pay cut? If not, you're set.Comment

yup you do... I'm not worried about a job really. Its more about getting back to the money I make now.
I am 99% sure I could go making 50k at 2 different companies in Dallas but I'm used to more so I have to decide which of those 2 would give me the opportunity to advance to get back to where I am not or betterComment

I know this is hard to believe, as income is important as hell, but I have come to believe that who you work with and the specifics of what you will be doing are just as important.Originally posted by 2165 Turbo Rail View Post
At the very least, you will be dealing with these people 8 hours a day (maybe much more) for quite a while. Coming from experience, I would rather make 10% less and work with people I like (or at least deal with) than make a bit more and have to deal with douchebaggery consistantly or do something I despise.
(actually have been in this situation, and it sucks ass)
Just remember that an interview is just as much for the interviewee as it is the interviewer....Comment

I couldn't agree more with this. I firmly believe that being happy at what you do and where you work is a HUGE factor that must be considered. I know happiness dosen't put food on the table, but it sure makes life a lot easier when you don't hate going to work every day.Originally posted by Gargamel View Post
Good luck to those that are job searching, or will be in the near future.Comment

rule of thumb:
people who generally only spend a couple days between jobs are usually the ones that most employers want to keep around.
Everyone else is a lazy fuck and desrves to be replaced by indians.Comment
