I lost my job today! - GoFuckYourself.com

masterwebmonkey · 02-06-2009, 05:51 PM

I worked as a programmer for ICS/Playboy for 6 years. They eliminated my position today.
There are no hard feelings. And I enjoyed my time there.

Did you work in Chicago , just trying to see if we have met.

LeRoy · 02-06-2009, 05:53 PM

That sux you lost your job. With Playboy on your resume I think you'll be fine

Twoface31 · 02-06-2009, 05:54 PM

maybe there is more opportunity to come to you thats why happens to you...

goodluck

cheers,

NaughtyRob · 02-06-2009, 05:56 PM

6 years?! Wow. That sucks! the job market is weak. I bet you could find enough work on the forums tho. Everyone always needs programming done.

After Shock Media · 02-06-2009, 05:56 PM

I can see no hate for the company or whatever but how can someone have no hard feelings for being fired/laid off (whatever). Did you at least get some notice?

masterwebmonkey · 02-06-2009, 05:57 PM

I worked out of the Sacramento / Rocklin office. I'm putting together a resume and portfolio. But not bullshit times are hard... negitive 20k Jobs per day

polish_aristocrat · 02-06-2009, 05:57 PM

I see they eliminated your color as well... or did you do it on your own?

edit: sorry to hear

Khulan · 02-06-2009, 06:02 PM

Hopefully, it is gonna be better later. It is hard to survive in such bad economy.

This morning I was an Admin ... but my post count is artificially 10,000 higher than it should be. Prolly why the color is off my "registered user" title.

that sucks, doesn't seem smart to lay off a programmer

nice guys finish last - they ruined your life today, took 6 years of your prime and decided you were disposable, sabotaged your dreams - surely you can do better than 'there are no hard feelings.'. just don't make up any lies - stick to the facts as you know them.

Sounds like he wasn't the only one to be terminated today [from ICS].

Its a bad time for developers, just read developer boards like dice.com.

I think with Playboy in your Resume you should do better, they allways hired good tech guys.

AK · 02-06-2009, 06:50 PM

Can you email your resume to denirojobs /at/ gmail.com ?
Please put attention Dallas.

Thanks.

Lets use the proper terminology please..

"Laid Off"

I made the same mistake saying I was "fired" when in fact I was only laid off, unless he was terminated for some reason?

bronco67 · 02-06-2009, 09:27 PM

I have a relative who just lost 25 year job.

Don't worry, though. Something good will happen. It always does.

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.

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....
