I became unemployed after 6 years with the same company. They pulled all but 3 of the employees into a room and told us that our jobs had been eliminated. Dickbags did not even have the cajones to do it themselves, they had an independent HR firm come in to do it.

Sorry to hear, man. Doesn't sound like the odds were in your favor, if they canned all but three, so don't take it personally. Good luck with the job hunt.

Condolences,

Time to review your options.

What is keeping you in Las Vegas now?

Thanks all.

What is keeping me in Vegas is the family. The kids need me.

I am thinking of going into business for myself.

What do you plan on doing as your business? If you care to share

well I initially thought about whoring myself out, but then I realized that I would have a crappy commute to work. So I am still unsure, I am going to discuss it with a few friends soon.
