Because maybe he was there because it was comfortable. Now he has the incentive to do even better. I know when I left the security of my last job it was the best thing I ever did. And it wasn't something I planned out. So no different than getting laid off.

sorry to hear!

Sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you.

that`s sucks :)

did you know it was coming? did you free emil before you left? as for the color you deserve green tho im sure blue was nicer;)..and as others said you are in good shape for a new gig thanks to your resume so you wont have a hard time getting a new one unlike alot of people...

All the best to you

That sucks man. Good luck to you.

I think the same is coming for many people...

Can you get into developing facebook apps? Viral shit? If I could code that's what I'd be looking at.

Like this: http://www.whoppersacrifice.com/ Guess it is closed now, but you sacrificed 10 friends to get a whopper voucher. Mainstream CPA networks love this shit.

If I didn't get fired from my job as a secretary back in 2001 for looking at porn at work, I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today....

When they told me that I was fired, I had to pack my shit up RIGHT THEN and leave....I was working there for three years and I couldn't even walk around and say goodbye...

So when the white lady told me to not look at porn at my next job, I told that bitch that I was going to get paid for what she just fired me for.....I had already bought my domain name and had a popular yahoo club at the time so I went home, built the site, put up ccbill, and sent an email to my yahoo club....Within an HOUR, I had my first sale and I've been doing this ever since.......A year later, I sent an email to the boss and the couple of snitches with me in the DR with two bitches and told them that I'm making more than my boss....

So YES, when I was fired, they dig me one of the biggest favors of my entire life....

Sorry to hear that and goodluck!

Fuck the haters.

"Laid Off" is old school. We now call it a "RIF". (Reduction In Force):Oh crap

Good luck

Best of luck to you in finding a new job.

Good thing you're not too upset about it

I know where you can get a job :)

sorry to hear that , but on your experienced it's easy to find a job

goodluck

Sometimes there's a bad scene, but it's really nobody's fault, so you can't be bent. Flaming Playboy won't help you find a job anyway. You have a pretty sweet gig under your belt, I'm sure you'll find something cool!

Best of luck!

not everybody has the entrepreneurial mindset and personality - definitely not the majority - for every person who loses a job and something better comes out of it there are many more that don't get something better - and in today's economy it's worse.

this guy is a programmer - and in this industry if he's any good he should not starve - everybody including me is always looking for dependable freelance coders and lots are looking for full time in house guys.

hey man, that sucks..

Exactly!

Would you want a potential future employer to see you ripping the shit out of your former employer? Maybe if you're KB, but otherwise I don't see it helping.

I hear ya, BVF. Back during the first Dot Bust, the VC firm I worked for went tits up it forced me to work for myself. Never looked back ever since.

good point...

not to mention the former employer owns this board :upsidedow

who is he ripping the shit out of?

Monday bump for an old co-worker and current friend.

I hope you get exactly what you need to replace the old shop, Jeff.

Call me if you need a reference, or help getting your name out there. I'm about to go to Xbiz, so I can keep an ear out for you, possibly.

I know its a bit of a trek, but we should do lunch.

Hope you find a new job quickly :)

Hit me up if you need a reference man..It was good working with you two years ago..

Sorry to hear that, tough times tough times...
