    Ouch. That sucks.
    Got let go two weeks before Christmas, 2001. Two weeks after my oldest son was born. That was a wakeup call - I bled productivity via long commute, long hours, extensive travel (to boat shows...I guess that wasn't so bad) for the better part of three years, but when they decided it was time to restructure management, no one was safe from the chopper. Worse than that, I didn't even get the news directly from the owners of the company - the local office manager had to do it. I felt worse for him (he is a great guy) than I did for me.
    It all worked out for the best. Now I have a great job just a mile from home, and can actually have breakfast with the kids every morning and pick 'em up from childcare every afternoon. Plus I still get to hit the occassional boat show.
    Good luck with the job hunt - there's something better out there; all ya gotta do is stay focused and get after it.

    Yeah; doesn't it suck that they think that if they "wait" until after Christmas to let ya go that they're doin' you a favor? I'm hearin' grumblings like my days are numbered at my job too. But like everyone says; try to keep your chin up and hopefully it will turn out to be the best. Good luck in 2006!

    Maybe you should post the Phone # to the place, and we could all phone there to make an appointment,... then " Oh Dan's not there anymore?? well I'll have to go somewhere else then!" ... onward and upward!

    That is an excellent idea. We should do that and ask for him by name. That he is highly recommended to you. Make them feel like dumbasses for letting Dan go.
