Fast forward a year later... I told her I'd like to take her up on her offer to help me find something else. A week later I was in her office with our HR person being told it wasn't the boss's responsibility to help me find a new job. 
They started running the ad for my replacement this week, despite the fact that I don't have anything else lined up.  |
You might consider a different line of work to pay the bills. I had a friend that owned a janitor office cleaning bizness. He told me that folks that got to the top and lost their positions for whatever reason took it badly, drugs, alcohol, oh poor me etc. He said if he lost every thing for what ever reason he would go back to busting tables, washing dishes etc, and work his way back up to the "top" from the bottom. Bottom line, if you cant make it at the "top" start from the bottom and work you way up, you will be ok..... Now go handle your bizness....
