so I got fired today..
 
My company decided to close down the marketing/sales department effective immediately.
This is:

- 1.5 month after they hired me
- 25 days before Christmas
- with a 5 days notice

:/

Happy Holidays indeed..

Markul 11-28-2014 04:27 AM

wow that sucks :(

Feng-PD 11-28-2014 04:28 AM

that's really crap from them... change your sig asap!

Phoenix 11-28-2014 04:29 AM

Take them out of your sig....find a new job.

Try not to talk trash...or it could scare off new employers.

SylviaMaroon 11-28-2014 04:30 AM

thanks, good point

suesheboy 11-28-2014 05:11 AM

The good news there is only 1-1/2 months invested.

Shitty move to take you on knowing they were closing. Don't tell me they were that surprised.

That's exactly what I have asked them, why did you hire me, if you thought this was a ticking time bomb? I moved to Dublin from another city :/

Anyways I have learned a lot, and made good connections, and being a smart girl, I'm sure I'm going to be able to find a good job, it's just this fcking December, noone hires in December :/

SylviaMaroon 11-28-2014 05:22 AM

this brings a new dimension to the whole Black Friday thing

yuu.design 11-28-2014 06:02 AM

douch, sad news :(

CaptainHowdy 11-28-2014 06:05 AM

It's a job, you'll find another one.

wehateporn 11-28-2014 06:09 AM

I'm very sorry to hear this Sylvia, it was a good idea to post here as hopefully someone else can make you an offer right away, good luck! :thumbsup

Long shot, but fire an email to Offer Grind, they have been recruiting recently, they're looking for respected people :2 cents:

DamageX 11-28-2014 06:28 AM

That sucks, I'm sorry for the situation they put you in.

However, what can you do? I might have some work for you. In fact, I could probably tailor tasks to your specific expertise, even if it's not something currently on my table. As long as I find it profitable enough to make it worth my time.

If it would be that easy then i would hire hundreds of people ... But expectation and reality are often two different things

It is that easy. The hard part isn't finding stuff that's profitable enough. The hard part is finding enough competent and reliable people to hire and then manage them.

I will quote you on this, think Positive !! :thumbsup:thumbsup

SylviaMaroon 11-28-2014 06:43 AM

thanks, you guys actually make me feel a bit better.

@wehateporn: thanks for the suggestion, I will contact them.

Nikki_Licks 11-28-2014 06:43 AM

While this does suck, just remember one door closes and another one opens.....could be for the better ;)

bluebook18 11-28-2014 06:48 AM

it's not too late, you can still find :)

Mickey_ 11-28-2014 07:05 AM

Sorry to hear, feel free to email me your resume to mb -at- lifeselector dot com.

Thanks.

Alexlecomte 11-28-2014 07:18 AM

Ouch ! sorry for you.
Check out Eddie and Lori at xindustryjobs dot net

They might have something too

VikingMan 11-28-2014 07:37 AM

Good luck and stay positive. When I get bad news I usually get drunk for 2 or 3 days and then clean up and head back out to conquer the world and everything is better.

I suggest you buy some cheap domains and hosting on these black friday sales. If you are a sick fucker and have some extreme fetishes just reg domains in those niches and begin with a blog or something. Write some erotic stories. Work it for a few years and you can half a decent income and will not be so reliant on employers.

Fat Panda 11-28-2014 08:09 AM

keep your head up!

Spunky 11-28-2014 08:21 AM

Never a good time to lose a job,best of luck and keep pluggin away,something will pop up

it's X industry Jobs . i was about to say the same thing. hit them up and i'm sure you will find something. :thumbsup

Sly 11-28-2014 08:46 AM

Never complain to potential employers about a prior employer.

Tam 11-28-2014 09:40 AM

Good luck, girl - there is always a reason fo everything that happens and while it may not seem clear right now - it will when you least expect it - so chin up and onward and upward - always keep a positive thought, even when it's so hard to do - look for the positives of it. Jobs are not easy to find, but things could be a great deal worse than just having to find a job - trust me on this - been there and done and still dealing with that here. :thumbsup

It's fucking stupid is what it is! Similar thing happened to me recently, total JOKE of a company to do that. You don't hire someone then close the department after a month lol. Best of luck in finding new work. :thumbsup

CDSmith 11-28-2014 09:43 AM

You didn't get fired, you got downsized.

Yes, there's a difference. And yes, it matters.


Best of luck with your job hunt.

wehateporn 11-28-2014 09:49 AM

I wouldn't be surprised if their decision was knee-jerk based on the fact that the banks haven't been allowing many adult transactions this month :2 cents:

I'd think twice about contacting Offergrind. Those guys are fucking crazy and taking a job with them may very well ruin your reputation which would make it difficult for you to find a new job once they go under. Definitely get in touch with DamageX before you even think about wasting time with those douchebags.

michael.kickass 11-28-2014 10:54 AM

Sorry to hear, happened to me not long ago. fukn sucked.

ErectMedia 11-28-2014 12:31 PM

Don't think I'd move to another location for a job unless they signed a contract or paid me insane money so if the shit wen't bad would be worth the hassle. :2 cents: Good luck finding a new gig. :thumbsup

djroof 11-28-2014 12:34 PM

That sucks... damn it...
