The rumor there were going to be jobs lost on Wednesday was true. I was effected in the "reduction in force" they were calling it. Sounds like 4 people out of my 11 person group were effected. That's alot don't you think?
I am not surprised it was me I was the newest and I think due to cut backs the project I was on got cut so it's only logical I'd be one of them. You know I am really ok. Actually better than I thought would if this would happen to me. I mean I am scared that I won't find one soon because of the job market but really I am not sure that was the job for me. I never got that feeling. My boss was great, people were nice, atmosphere was nice but I didn't really like the actual work. And every time someone would tell me about a job I would consider it even talk to Kermit about it some so I think I wasn't happy enough there. I think I am ready to do BA or Sys Admin instead. I thought I would miss programming but I really don't think I would.
They gave me my 60 days notice and I could leave immediately. Then I somehow got 2 weeks severance. So I am being paid until the end of March. In a way I am glad when I got to work yesterday morning they had sent out an announcement saying layoffs were today and those not effected would be getting a 10% pay reduction. So right then I thought I need to start looking regardless.
God closes a door he opens another just hoping I am not standing in the hall too long :o)

You have such a great attitude and God will definitely bless that. Praying for you!
Hi Tracey! I am sorry that you were affected in the lay off =( But your attitude about it is awesome! I'd be taking it personal, crying, angry, you name it! But you seem pretty calm about it. I hope that you find another job soon, and that its one that you do like and feel comfortable at =)
