Sorry to hear about your job Matt. Scary situation for sure.

Hugh R 04-23-2014 12:22 PM

This is why I love this place.

Damn Matt, sorry to hear it.

I could live in Greensboro, I like NC.

Sorry to hear that, Matt. Best of luck for a quick job search.

Brando 04-23-2014 12:36 PM

Good luck in your search matt and sorry to hear about the circumstances. Hopefully there are recruiters circling, waiting to pick out top performers like you.

Wow Matt...sorry to read this. Most of the cliches have already been posted, but they're true. You're gonna be just fine, but it just SUCKS going through it...I've witnessed it too many times to count. WORK that professional network hard with peers that have already moved on. If by chance Greensboro (as mentioned above) hits on your radar screen, I "might" know someone who would be willing to do anything possible to help you out ;). Now go get 'em pal...a year from now this will be ancient history....best of luck!!!

All together now...

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Matt,

Will speak with my stepdaughter.
She's recruits ME's and ChemE's for Air Products.
She is headquartered in NJ, but they are a worldwide company.

I got whacked on Jan 15 after 7 years. Sucked, but in retrospect, I had become complacent and fell behind a bit with technology. I now have a bunch of cool opportunities in the pipeline and will come out better on the other side.....you will too!! You've got great skills. Best of luck!

How much for the boat?

J/K Matt....things will work out I'm sure. Good time to take a little time off - maybe a vacation or get some work done around the house - fishing - or just screw off for a couple - few weeks. Enjoy it while you can.

The Space X suggestions sounded good...they're doing all kinds of stuff around here......

Laid Off Today
 
Sorry to hear. Few things in life are as spirit-crushing as this. Some grieving time is normal and natural. Don't expect instant results. You're good, you're talented and you'll find something that fits your skills. Just accept that it might (and probably will) take a long time. If you get lucky it'll be quick but don't expect it to go that way - be mentally prepared for a long, excruciating slog and a lot of rejection letters (or worse, nothing but silence) in response to many interviews and resumes sent in the coming months.

But keep the faith. You WILL work at a meaningful job again. Hoping it'll be short for you. Best wishes.

All the best. It sucks. BTDT.

MT930 04-23-2014 01:05 PM

This will end up being a big opportunity for you!

Press On

911dean 04-23-2014 01:57 PM

Sorry to hear about the lay off. With your qualifications I can't imagine you'll be out of work long. Good luck in your search!

Aragorn 04-23-2014 02:09 PM

Sorry to hear the news. Think you posted something not that long ago about having to seek a new job soon. Look around. Something better is out there.

craigster59 04-23-2014 02:12 PM

Ever thought about acting? Send some "head shots" to Hugh R, I hear he's well connected in the movie biz. You could be the next George Clooney! :)

Bill Douglas 04-23-2014 02:12 PM

Darn, you have enough on your plate with the mba and other things. Good luck, and who knows - something even better may come along. OR... they have to pay you triple to come back as a contractor to sort things out.

You obviously haven't met me.

Whatever, where do I sign up?

KNS 04-23-2014 07:13 PM

Crap - that sucks. Don't know what the hiring is like but there is a fair amount of aerospace in Arizona.
