Well I lost my job!

rossdavey2

So last thing today the pres and VP call me into thier office and tell me I am being let go. Know for those who don't know I worked for a Japaness company. Nothing to do with budget or my work performance they said, they just decided after a year and a half they don't really understand me all the time!!! What the ***!!

They gave me one months pay and won't fight unemployment. So tomorrow I go to the department of labor and try to get something coming in and get the wife on medicad and WIK. First baby due in Aug and our issurance will stop the end of June.

Trying to see the good in this. Work has had me stressed out over the last few months and I got put on xanax a few weeks ago. Just trusting God has a plan and it will work out for the best in the long run.

What!!? Dude that sucks, They don't understand you? That is no reason to let someone go. Sorry to hear about this man, praying for you and your family. Yall will get through this.

dwayne3307

Sorry to hear that man, that sucks. Hopefully it's part of God's plan to get you a better spot. Can you continue your insurance coverage with your old job?

stephen_hannibal

Whoa Prayers going out for your family man.

Hays

Damn man.. I'm sorry to hear this. Prayers going out for you and your family bro.

wwestern

Sorry to hear that man. Did you at least yell "It's fried rice you plick!" as you left?

xmacro

Sorry to hear that man - hopefully you'll find something even better soon.

I believe this is the right attitude my brother. Remember - sometimes one door has to close in order for another to open. Will be praying that door opens quickly for you.

Try to find the silver lining somewhere. Maybe there is something in the mix for ya! Take the time to spend with the wife. It might be nice to hang out for a bit.

Ditch the xanax and enjoy life. Things have a way of working out the way they are supposed to, when they are supposed to.

kaspera79

Sorry to hear this, but it is all part of a bigger plan. Things will work put for you.

beatnic

Sorry to hear that... Ditto on ditching the zanax.
My dad used the saying "God helps those who help themselves". It basically means "do something about it".

smoke em if you got em

Hope things getter better bro. Your family is in my prayers

I am sorry to here this. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I am being flooded out of my job for 8 to 12 weeks but I have it to go back to when the water goes away. Whenever I start feeling bad for myself I have to remember others aren't as fortunate as me. Keep your head up and I know it is hard - I have been there. Stay positive even though it feels like the world is against you. You will make it through this. I was gone the entire 9 months my wife was pregnant with my son. Some soldiers in the desert haven't even seen their newborn kids. You will make it and you might look back on it and wonder how the hell you did but you will. The guys here will make sure you don't go without cigars for sure.


On a side note maybe we can throw together a CCom baby shower to help a brother out?

JCizzle

Hope it works out and you find a new opportunity, sorry to hear the bad news.

ug dan

Sorry to hear. Stay strong!

letsgowithbob

Really sorry to hear that man, I wish the best for you and hope this is all water under the bridge in a very short time.

Luko

Tough break, hang in there. I really agree with those who have already said it....it's tough to see now, but keep your eyes open and sooner or later an even better opportunity will come along.

alienmisprint

That blows hard man.....my thoughts are with you.

klgoldman

Bummer, sorry to hear it bro. I know from experience that this can be a tough situation. Just gotta get back up and dust yourself off and things usually work out better than they were.

james40

Damn bro, sorry to hear this happened. I know it's easy for me to say, but this could be a blessing in disguise. Something will turn up for you, just keep punching bro.

skweekz

Sorry to hear the bad news bro

y2pascoe

Keep your head up, man!

lilwing88

Wow. That sucks. A lot. I hope things work out for you, bro. Who knows? This may be a good thing in the long run. Like you said, some things happen for a reason.

Ken Light

I'm sorry to hear this, but I think you got the right attitude about it so I'm confident you'll make it through. You don't seem like you're about to roll over and quit on yourself and your family anytime soon so that's great to see. Take the time to figure out what and where will make you happy and keep you off anxiolytics and then hit that pavement so hard it cracks!

rossdavey2

Thanks for all the support guys. Means a lot when a bunch of guys I never even meet help out with thoughts and prayers.
working on a few things today, but first thing is to get the wife and baby covered.

RampMonkey

Sorry to hear the news brother, I know the feeling. I had to train my replacement from my last job. But you have the right out look on the matter. Things happen for a reason and its funny but things will have a way of working out. As for the new addition that is coming later this summer, CONGRATS! If push comes to shove, can your family get on Cobra if needed?

Sorry to hear this happening to you Ross. The samething happened to me and my wife few years ago when I was expecting my first child. We both worked at the same company and when it shut down we were out of a job. We got through it though. Word of advice, if you go apply for medicare, go apply BEFORE you get the unemployment insurance. When we did, they tried to tell us we made too much money for medicare...which was total BS. We lucked out because we talked to someone who actually knew what the hell they were talking about and said they didn't count us as a family of 3, but as a family of 2....so we got qualified...barely. Man, was I pissed when we didn't get approved the first time...paid into this system for years and for the first time I needed help they were gonna screw me. Anyways, baby came and I got a job...I guess my rambling does have a point and that is that will work out, it always does...no matter how bad it seems. I'll be praying for ya buddy.

ShotgunJohn

Sorry to hear this brother, but this will actually lead to a great opportunity. Years ago when I lost my job I was bummed but I got hired in a position with more money and better benefits.
The good Lord always provides.
God bless you and your family.

Heavy

Sorry to hear that bro. I lost my job a couple of years ago and I won't lie to you, it was tough BUT everything did work out for the better in the end. Sounds like you have the right idea with unemployment, WIC etc. One thing I would suggest is compare Meidcaid benefits (or whatever you're looking at applying for) with your current insurance benefits - it may be worth it to pay COBRA for a little while and cover your child's delivery that way. Just a thought but I may be way off. Thoughts and prayers with you - hang in there!

zeebra

sorry to hear that man! All things happen for a reason IMO. Hope you are ok and find a better job.
