I just got blindsided folks. Manager and some HR lady pull me into a chat room and inform me they are letting me going due to company restructuring :-) I didn't see this coming at all I'm devastated and don't know what the fuck to do. [Reply]

Reflect on your desires and skills.
Let EVERYBODY know you are looking.
File for benefits, now…even if you are getting a sepp package.
Take 2 weeks and get away, refresh.
Look into upgrading your skills.
Keep your head up…it’s them, not you.
Good luck bud.
This is the best plan.
And take that week or two to 'refresh,' or whatever. That's just about the most important thing on the list. I'd go fishing for a few days, some might take a mini-vacation, whatever. But don't just sit around the house for two weeks. Pick something you've wanted to do (that isn't stupid expensive) and go do it; take advantage of the opportunity.
it'll also give you a chance to think in different surroundings, which can help, for whatever reason.
Anyway, that pause often allows your mind to reset, and can lead to better choices going forward.

Billay, do you work remotely? I guess I can understand them firing you over chat if you do. But that would be the only acceptable way that should happen. [Reply]

Dude those are desirable skills in the market. Update the resume. If you want me to help with the resume, PM me. Get on LinkedIn. Post the updated resume on the job boards. You’ll get calls from recruiters. [Reply]
