[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got laid off yesterday from my dream job. The only other time I have been laid off it was a job that sucked and I hated it and I was already looking for a new job so I was grateful for the severance to focus on finding a new job full time. That lay-off didn't even register with me.

But this one I am so, so sad. I was the only one from my team let go and they all keep texting me that they miss me and that makes me even more sad. I get six months severance but I'd give it up just to keep working there for six months, like if I prove myself to them they'll let me stay. (Even though they've already said it had nothing to do with my performance. At least one person from each team was cut, some teams as many as ten.)

It's like a bad breakup or something but honestly worse because at least when I was single I would tell myself I could find a guy I liked better. I'm looking at the job market now and it absolutely sucks. I am convinced I will never find a job I loved that much.

Anyway. I'm sorry if this is rambling, I'm just really sad right now. I've cried so much over the last 24 hours. [/quote]

How old are you? If you are under 40 you will be okay. It's a long journey. Under 50 it will be challenging. Over 50 you are done.[/quote]
