[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Losing a job is a traumatic event. I'm kind of aghast at how unsupportive you all are of your husbands.[/quote]

I agree it is a traumatic event.  But you should be over the shock within a day or two.  Then you put your focus on finding a new job.  Spend a few hours each morning searching, applying etc.  Then you spend the rest of your day doing things you've wanted to get done while working, working out, enjoying the free time, etc.

But if someone is moping around for weeks and weeks and months about not having a job, they need to grow up and face reality.

I have been laid off a few times.  It sucks....but being depressed won't help get you a job.  Have some savings, keep your resume updated, and have a plan for when it happens.[/quote]

That's really patronizing. I am a woman btw. When I lost my job it took me a few months to grapple with my loss of identity..I was basically so down in the dumps even if I went for an interview I probably would not be able to represent myself well. After 8 months I felt alot better and found a job. You all have NO EMPATHY for your husbands what soever.[/quote]

Wow. When I got laid off, I had a 10 month old and a 3 year old and a brand newly hired nanny. I got out there immediately. Got temp work after 5 weeks, new job 3 months after that.  Who has 8 months to wallow if you have mouths to feed?[/quote]
