CA2OR Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 So I went into work today to find out my position had been eliminated...this just a few weeks after I found out we are expecting our second child....so you may see my system up for sale soon. Worst of all....if I dont find another job in the next 6 weeks I might be forced to move back to So Cal.... So it was nice knowing you guys. I hope things work out but if not then I wish you guys the best Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA2OR Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 Re: Bad day today...dont know what the future has in store Were you working at Vestas? Just saw on the news that they laid off 114 people :( yep. I really liked working there. Odd because before working there I was making an average of 35 an hour at a computer company....then they closed their doors....so I took this job, and moved from Southern California for 15 something an hour, what can I say job market was/is slim....but we were making it...so now I dont know what to look for salary wise....but I at least know the minimum. The part that worries me most is the loss of insurance for my son Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckie Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 My son graduated in Dec. He to has been looking at the IT field. Some promising interviews but nothing yet. I am sure your not alone but it really sucks. Get paper work strated for public health insurance for the wife & kids. Theres a rumor that you can get help with cobra.

I am sure your not alone but it really sucks. Get paper work strated for public health insurance for the wife & kids. Theres a rumor that you can get help with cobra. Beckie But Cobra is outrageously expensive. You shouldn't have to get cobra since the latest bill on health insurance passed. I feel your pain CA2OR! My wife has been looking for a graphic design job for 4+ months and still no luck. I am floored she hasn't been hired with her experience. I was forced to take a leave of absence from the University and find a job. I found there seems to me more manual labor jobs than anything else. That's were I got mine. I wish you all the best and hope everything works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
