Just got laid off!

[Rebel79]

Man yesterday I called in sick to work and later found out one my my best co-workers was laid off. I thought I was lucky that I called in sick. Well I went in today, still having a feeling that I could be next... well I was.

My boss has had the gall to lay off the two oldest people in our group, the only woman, and now the youngest. According to him he goes by seniority. I told him that was screwed up and he should go by performance. He said he did and created a whole bunch of lies, telling me I was the worst performer. When I can honestly say that I am not. I have co-workers who show up 30 min to an hour late, are drunk or high at work, or golf with my boss while they are supposed to be working. I told this to my boss and his reply was "I have not seen that."

Oh well, life goes on.... I guess. I do have a 1.5 month severance package. But my rent is going up $350/mo soon, and my car needs work. I just hope and pray I can find an equal job out there. The last thing I want to do is commute because I will have to stop coaching the Little League team I love so much. I guess this doesn't just affect me or my family, it affects a dozen boys too.

I probably won't be around much anymore since I usually read and post while I was at work. I hope I will see you all soon!
