This is when it sucks to be right.
Jun. 13th, 2006 02:23 pmI got laid off today.
The management called eight of us into the boardroom this morning, and laid us off en masse, and then each of us was assigned a manager to escort us to our desks (to pack our things) and then to our cars. We saw no one, spoke to no one apart from our assigned managers. It was altogether the most degrading, humiliating experience I've undergone, and I was so furious I actually said something to that effect to the entire management crew--though to tell you the truth, I don't remember quite what that something was, and of course I doubt the words had much effect.
I am less furious and more just generally upset, now.
And so now I have to start buckling down to the job hunt in earnest. Wish me luck, and let me know if you hear about anything, okay?
