    Got laid off

    Well... knew it was going to happen eventually, the way AOL is going. I was amongst the thousands laid off yesterday from that place. I'll be on the job hunt, wish me luck guys.

    Dave,

    Collect unemployment to start with. Then start your search. With all the internet companies more will do the same by cutting jobs. Good Luck with the job hunt.

    You'll have no problem landing a new job Dave. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers though as I know (from my dad) that it can be rough to be let go like that.

    Re: Got laid off

    Damn, when I first skimmed over the thread in the forum, I thought it said "Got laid".

    Sorry to hear the bad news. You don't need those AOL losers anyways, their company is quickly going to shit. How good is the severance package?

    Re: Got laid off

    4 months of pay and benefits... plus if bonuses do get paid out to the company in 2008, I get my full bonus as if I were still an employee

    But I better go and hit the job boards.... I must see if that T&A judge is listed on there
