Well, I got laid off today, BUT I've already been in contact with a
former employer, and have a good shot at getting hired there. We're meeting on Tuesday. Can I get some of those old time lounge vibes?

3. Certainly. Good vibes going out to you.
One door closes and another opens. That's why I always have tried to leave a job on good terms, 'cause you never know what the future holds. It'll work out fine for you. :hi:

Kicking an employer often comes back to haunt the kicker.

Sorry for your loss. Been there many, many times. File for UE today.

14. Yes, I got some severance pay, and I've already filed my UE claim.
I also have a couple of other companies to call, so I'm not in a panic or anything right now.

Thanks, Jack.

I want to pick up a couple more clients this year if possible, but otherwise I consider my situation pretty ideal.

30. I worked from home for over 8 years and loved it.
Mind you, I really like the people I worked with at the company that just laid me off, but if I don't have to commute every day, that will be totally cool with me!

52. Good luck
In the early 80's I left an employer of 7 years to move about 1700 miles away
After 5 months things weren't working out so well and I sucked it up to call him to see if there was a chance of coming back
His first words were: How soon can you be here?
I left on a Monday and was back at my old job the following Monday
Stayed for another 19 years
He had not dropped me from the pension plan or health ins while I was gone, said he was going to wait 6 months
Mega vibes coming :hi:

53. That is very cool!
Can't say my return would be as nice as yours (pension) but since my husband has been unemployed for a year (also laid off), I need to get a job sooner rather than later.

I hope you aren't unemployed for long, and I hope the new job will pay well, have good benefits, and compare favorably to the job you just left.

I'm sorry you are going through this, but I hope it is a good change for you in the long run. :hug:
