Laid off - Posted By Nick (nickb) on 17th Mar 08 at 12:42am
I got laid off yesterday, so I am depressed right now, not really depressed just sad. My boss yesterday called me into the office, and he told me that corporate, is laying allot of people off across the U.S. and he told me I was on the list of being laid off. He said nothing personal, I am a good kid, hard worker, and really good at my job. So now I am only down to 1 job, and I was making $600 per month, now I am only going to make $400 per month, and now I cant get my laptop, because the 400 was for bills, and the 200 was going towards my laptop, and now all the money I am going to make now is going to the bills. {Sad}

How long have you been working there?

Not sure about the states, but I'm pretty sure in Canada if you get laid off you receive some kind of compensation if you've been working there for over a year.

The company was Flying J, http://flyingj.com

and I've been working there for 8 months now.

I've been to a few Flying J's in my lifetime. I'd never want to work there.. that's just my opinion.

That really sucks though. Just try and find another job I guess.
