I got into that a little bit in school, but never finnished to work it outside. U should be able to find another job preatty easly, thats a highly wanted job, at least it in in Oregon, maybe even Cali.

can't think of anywhere just off the paved road hiring, where you at?

PKRWUD · 08-24-2002, 01:33 AM

That totally sucks, Brad, I'm really sorry to hear that.

But hey, at least you have that HUGE paycheck to look forward to now that you're Moderator in the truck forum!!!

Yeah, I know, just trying to make you smile.

Take care,
~Chris

dude thats sucks......don't sweat it though ,usually when one door closes another one opens.....

i got canned from my last job 3 days before christmas last year........guess i didn't kiss the right persons a*s

.......i collected unemplyment to keep the bills paid ,then after like 5 months ,i wound up getting a job that pays more ,and is only like 2 minutes from my house (last job required alot of commuting)......so getting canned wound up being better for me

well i hope things work out........keep your eye open for the next oppritunity ,and cosider it a vacation

Sorry to learn about your job loss. Been there...it sucks.

Unemployment pays about half of what you made and it only lasts six months but that should be more than enough - unless you have really big expenses or a tough time finding a new job.

Your ex-employer may not give you a great recommendation (if any) so this could be a problem if you're staying in the same field.
Hope not.

You'll probably land another job and be fine but next time, I would start paying a lot more attention to detail when you get an evaluation warning about it as I assume you're in a job where detail really counts.

Speaking as one who has been in management, I can advise you that once a problem with your work has been pointed out to you, do what you can to fix it of course, then, ask the boss how you're doing. Don't simply assume that if they don't say anything you're doing fine. Usually, if you don't improve, hints are there but at some point they just write you off. Often, it takes awhile before they actually let you go as they seek a replacement or you finish an ongoing project.

I've been on both sides of that situation; been the supervisor and had to recommend that someone be replaced and I've also been the guy who was replaced - and I never saw it coming - or ignored the signs. I know better now and so I'm offering this advice to you for what it's worth.

I wish you well in your search for a new job.
