livendive 8 #26 December 11, 2003 QuoteI got laid off yesterday, after giving my employer 10 years of my life. Fuck. It may be a forum faux-pas to quote yourself, but it's relevant dammit. It took me two months, but I just received a job offer over the phone. They want me to start Monday and are offering 54% more per hour than I was making...to do MUCH more interesting work. It's only a 3 year project, so I may have to go through this cycle again in the future, but for that kind of salary improvement, I could do this every year!

livendive 8 #30 December 3, 2004 QuoteI got laid off yesterday, after giving my employer 10 years of my life. Fuck. As of 15 minutes ago, I am again unemployed. However this time it'll only last till 7 AM Monday morning, when I start my new job. It's been ~1 year since I got laid off. I'm now look forward to most of my work, make ~60% more money, have an office 0.8 miles from my house, and get comparable to slightly better bennies. Getting laid off rocked!

Good thing you put in the effort for a scientific education; think of "joe sixpack" down on the union bench who can't, or won't, improve his job skills.
