right. that changes the game.

Just got made redundant. Not performance-related, just to do with outsourcing and lack of work right now. Nice payout, but am kind of stunned.

Oh, fuck. I'm so, so sorry. *hugs* That sucks so much.

[tielan]

I think I'm in the mental equivalent of shock right now. Not quite sure what to think or do. I've cleaned up my desk, am cleaning out my computer, trying to think of all the bits that need doing before I go.

[thothmes]

Oh.

Ow.

I hope that the upshot is that you find a nice job with nice people, you find it soon, and that in time you are able to look back and say that today led you to a better place.

But, man, do you ever have the right to feel shaken and confused. While it is nice that it is not performance related, it doesn't make it any the less disorienting.

Virtual hug.

[tielan]

Disorienting! That's the word that describes how I feel right now.

It's just...unexpected. And sudden. And I think it's shaken more than a few of my office colleagues...

[copracat]

What you must be thinking! Or not thinking. I hope this leads to a fantastic change.

[tielan]

Right now, I think I'm mostly numb. It doesn't feel real. Or different.

[gaffsie]

I'm so sorry! That really sucks.

[tielan]

It's very unexpected and a little disorienting. I'm all over the map, not only prepping for this holiday, but...oh...trying to think ahead. Or not think ahead.

Or possibly just replying to comments without making much sense.

[ailelie]

*hugs* I'm glad the pay-out was good, at least; and, I hope you find something new swiftly.

[tielan]

I don't think it should be too hard. There are projects out there, so people keep saying, it's just...the whole prospect of going through the job run again...

[beatrice_otter]

I'm so sorry! I pray you'll get a job soon.

[tielan]

Thanks - and thanks for the prayer. :)

[cereta]

I'm so sorry!

[tielan]

*hugs*

[rhianona]

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you are able to find a new job soon.

[tielan]

I'm pretty sure that I will be able to. It's still disorienting.

[skieswideopen]

Oh no! I'm sorry!

Good luck in finding a new job quickly!

[tielan]

It shouldn't be too hard. It's just a bit of a shock.

[havocthecat]

Oh, no! I'm sorry to hear it, hon. *hugs*

[zillah975]

Oh, no!! Oh my god, I just saw this. I'm so sorry! Even when you know you'll be able to get something else soon, it's always, yes, disorienting, when this kind of thing happens. :( I hope your trip is terrific and helps soften the disorientingness!
