Be glad.  I got a pink slip for my year end bonus.  I'll be unemployed on January 4.

I'm sorry, PP. I wish you well. [/quote]

Thanks.  Fortunately, we are much better off than many, so we are going to be okay.  My wife makes about 5% less than I do, so  we can cover the mortgage and the basic expenses.  We have 6 months of full expenses in liquid savings, and from a previous time like this, when I was out of work for 6 months, I was able to shop more intelligently and did all the cooking and it only cost about 1/4 of our emergency savings for that six months.  I'll go back into house-husband mode if I don't find a job within the next 6 weeks.

Fortunately, I've been a contractor at my agency for over 24 years and have a lot of skills that are important for the agency.  I have had one interview and have another tomorrow from internal leads and I doubt I'll be unemployed for more than about 6-8 weeks at the longest.  We can handle that pretty easily.

I only shared this to help those who are complaining about small bonuses put their situations into perspective, but there are probably many who will never [b]grok[/b] that.

Happy holidays to all. [/quote]
I've never heard that term before. Thanks for that, PP, and good luck with your job search. Happy holidays to you too![/quote]
