Getting fired SUCKS...help!

[garth33]

Wow I'm so gnarled and depressed tonight I can't really express it. I'm SO frustrated and mad I just have to vent to SOMEONE and you're it GH-members

Someone who is VERY important in my life informed my they have to attend a "mandatory meeting" tomorrow. When this person tried to find out what was up with co-workers - no one had any idea about any "meeting" - meaning my friend is likely going to get the axe tomorrow...

This person was understandably paranoid and scared and upset and I tried to be supportive and positive but this person has put in a LOT of years with this company and since APPARENTLY loyalty means NOTHING in 2010 this person is especially crushed and taking it hard and it makes me totally sick to my stomach watching this person go through this....I just feel so helpless! How do I help this person get through this if she actually does get fired tomorrow? I'm SO F*CKING DEPRESSED/MAD right now I just had to vent somewhere...

awww garth.. well you never know right? maybe its totally something different.. but I do understand for wanting to be prepared if it is the situation. Getting fired sucks.. I haven't ever so thank god! lol. But I do hope theres some sort of package that she is given if she is being laid off, without that I definitely would fight and appeal for a severance package upon dismissal!

Not to be rude or insensitive but I think this is in the wrong forum.

Thread moved....

And garth, I guess all we can ever really do is batton down the hatchs and prepare for the storms. I've never been -fired- but being made redundant is a bitch as well really. You just gotta grit your teeth and carry on.

Nothing means anything nowadays apart from being in the right place at the right time and knowing the right people.

My sympthy goes to your work-mate.

I'm sure your friend will find a better job if he gets the boot, a person is never limited to one thing.

Thanks to all the OTHER (Non NERD) GH members who posted positive comments here...I do appreciate it. I'm just caught up in a moment you know...it's been hard because this person is VERY VERY important to me!

It's been a very tumultous 48 hours since I posted this thread...to make a long story short...
--She actually found out beforehand she would be fired and had to twist in the wind for 1/2 a day before it was "official"
--We had worked together on a big party/celebration for an event that was to be held on the day she was called in to get axed! TALK ABOUT SHITTY TIMING! It ruined a day that was very special to her and it cut my heart to the bone because I felt so bad a day she had worked so hard for was CRUSHED right in front of my eyes. I've never been a violent person but that moment I would done ANYTHING to prevent the pain I watched drain from the joy we were experiencing...like sipping kool-aid that turned to battery acid...fuck!
I've tried to be a strong true friend though all this but I'm about tapped out too....but I WILL be there for my friend. It's just a lot right now but I'm not my normal self and I apologize buddies....you know I'm not normally like this but it's just a bad spot I'm in right now. (SUCKS!)

I'm mosty over (and mostly sorry) for my embarassing RANT - but it felt good to get it out of my system so thanks buddies for listening to that. It amazing what PURE PASSION can do when something burns so DEEP inside you it blazes out of your fingertips on a computer keyboard late at night with few, if ANY spelling or grammatical mistakes EVEN THOUGH it sounds like the ravings of a lunatic? It's almost like you've been touched by magic OR the HAMMER of THOR?

My only answer is Thor must have gone to college

oh boy...hey Jimmy - do me a favor and shut this thread down....I've been out of my mind but I promise I'll come back.

Peace,
