Awesome.
12 years with a company and they just let you go like you are nothing.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.
"I'm aiming for heaven, but I'll probably wind up down in hell"
About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Fu-u-uck. That totally sucks. However, I'm sure you are an incredible employee and people will be beating down your door soon.
What's wrong with companies? Why do they have to do that shit on a Friday and ruin your weekend? Monday would be a good day, so you could start your job search immediately.
:(

That sucks. Big time.
I got laid off several years ago--I know how much it sucks.
Hugs.
I know you are strong, but you have had way too much to deal with than one person should.
--Kristin
Well that just sucks, I'm very sorry.
F. I've been laid off too, and it's awful-- the sense of betrayal alone. I was never laid off w/kids to feed, though. I am so sorry.
I am so sorry Nancy. I know it's a horrible feeling. I was laid off when the girls were 2 motnhs old. I was terrified.
I hope you are able to find something else ASAP. I can't believe they would do this after they had you running all over the fucking country
That sucks more than anything! How freakin' lame.
oh Nancy, I'm SO sorry! What are you going to do? You are such a strong woman that I'm sure you will find something better in no time!
Fingers crossed - thinking about you lots and lots!
I am so sorry Nancy that sucks!
((((HUGS))))
No way. I'm so sorry.
Oh my goodness. You had no idea? That just sucks.
((hugs))
i'm so frickin sorry! wtf? they just sent you on a business trip!! ugh!
That's crap! I am so sorry.
Crap. Shit.
SO unfair.
Holy Shit...I am just waiting for that shoe to drop here. Our profession sucks ass. It is so easy to outsource us.
Did you at least get 12 weeks of severance? Makes for a nice summer...but a grim fall.
Sorry Nancy...
Oh bummer. I am so sorry. I hate that we are just numbers...I have been laid off before I even go back to work, I found out my job was eliminated as of Oct. 1.
We will survive though :)
UGH! I'm so sorry to hear that. You are like the 3rd blogger than I read to get laid off lately (and I don't read that many). Sheesh - what crap. And you just went on that business trip too. Wow, I'm mad for you! Blah. Really hope you find something new that you love very quickly (if that's even the direction you are going to go).
wow. I'm so sorry.
oh no! I'm so sorry. I hope you're able to find something else.
Crap! Sorry to hear that. Bastards!
Needless to say, my jaw just hit the floor....holy hell hun.
Oh shit. Fuck this shit bites. So sorry to hear.
Damn... I'm sorry Nancy. That fucking sucks.
Oh no! I'm so sorry. I hope that the recovery time for your foot is quick so you can get to looking for something else soon.
WTF?
oh wow! i'm so sorry!!
oh fuck!
I am so so so sorry. so sorry. it sucks ass.
Sorry to hear this Nancy. I hope you and the family are ok.
Aw, Nancy. That sucks monkey balls. I am so sorry!
I'm so sorry Nancy, that totally sucks!!!
Wow, I guess nobody's safe in this stupid economy. I'm so sorry, I hope everything works out ok for you and your family. At the very least enjoy some time with your cute kids.
I'm so upset for you, can't imagine how you feel. Hugs (and wish i could do something useful!)
Dammit!! What the hell is going on?! It's SO time for you to have a break from this kind of fuckery..Im sorry Nancy!!
Holy Crap! I'm so sorry. I hope you find a new job soon. Did they at least give you a severance package. Man that sucks.

Shit, Nancy.
Shit.

OH NO! That's terrible! Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way.
*HUGS*
Oh fuck. I'm really sorry to hear that, and that your loyalty over all those years means so little to them.
That's fucked up. I hope you get a pay-off, for Christs sake. SO sorry mate. XOXOXO
So sorry. What a terrible blow!
Hey Nancy,
I am so sorry. I understand what you are going through. I know, I know....but it really does get better eventually.
oh, and i forgot to add....that fucking sucks monkey ass!!!
Well that sucks big donkey balls.
Seriously.
So very, very sorry.
"The economy is getting better" my ass.
HUGS!!!! you really have been through enough!
Nancy... So sorry to hear about that with everything else going on!
Stay strong... keep us informed on what you are doing
"I'm sorry" seems so hollow.
It fucking sucks monkey balls.
You are a fantastic person and they are clearly idiots.
HOLY shit...I'm so sorry.
WTF?!?!!?!
I think we live in the same town (C. Springs), so if I know what you are looking for in a job, I can keep my eyes open for you. I'm sure this totally sucks... :(
Uggh. I am so sorry this happened to you. And after 12 years? Major suckage.
SHIT! Did you leave with some pay?
HUGS :(
That sucks so much ass! And while I know that losing a job makes you fret over every single financial expenditure, I'm secretly (or not so secretly) glad that you were able to get fabulous cheek bones before you got laid off. It sucks but you look absolutely marvelous.
Well, that sucks. :( I hope they are giving you a good severance package. Make sure you have a lawyer check it out so you get everything you're entitled to.
Holy freaking cow! I'm so sorry to hear that. Please keep us posted.
Hey nancy remember me? I would love to hear from you.

Damn that is terrible. ((HUGS))
Hey Nancy, I've been thinking about you and hope you are doing ok Give me a call if you get a chance!
I am so sorry to hear that Nancy.
OMG! I'm so sorry to hear that! That totally sucks Nancy!
As others have said, holy shit. What is up with this year??? I am so sorry. I just hope it brings bigger and better things your way. Soon.
Man, that sucks. I got laid off during the Internet bubble (well, during the bursting of the bubble), and it is more than a bit horrifying/humiliating. That said, as trite as it sounds, you will find something better.
Screw them. They suck.
Shit! That totally sucks, Nancy. I'm so sorry.
Oh crap, I am so sorry!
I'm so sorry Nancy. It's so hard when things like that happen. I just wanted you to know that I'm thinking about you.
