I just got laid off.
...But, I've already found another job.
My boss told me just before I left work today that he has to downsize his buisness, and that he cannot afford to pay for more than three employees. Currently, Myself, annother mechanic, my boss' 16 year old son, his 19 year old daughter, and his wife are on the payroll. Me, the other mechanic, and his wife (who never actually shows up to work there) get a salary, his kids work hourly. Me and the other guy are getting the boot effective Friday. Soooo, I talked to another independent shop owner who happened to be looking for help, a little farther away from the house, but not far, who's gonna give me a job starting monday. I'll be getting paid commission, instead of a salary, but at least it's a job. Yetibone

Yikes dude, glad you got something so quick. I've been looking for something new for half a year and haven't had even an interview yet. Let me know how it works out.

That blows. Sounds like what happened to my wife. At least you can go from one job to another without missing much time.

We just had lay offs at my work a couple of weeks ago, 7 out of 31 employees were let go. I was lucky once again, hopefully the economy will continue to do better.

sorry and congrats. that is fortunate to have a quick turnaround.
working for the company i do, the layoffs come about 10,000 at a time. i've been lucky so far. they seem to be staying away from IT.

Sorry man, I know what your going through...I'm kinda looking at the boot myself. I was told if I didn't bring the volume of my department up I would be fired! At least you got a new job, if I got fired I wouldn't be able to find a job for at least three to six months out here....the economy sucks!
Good Luck John
