So This Is How It Feels
Posted by pete on February 1st, 2006
So this is how it feels to be laid off. My position is being eliminated. I can’t say I’m really surprised by it and I’m glad that I was given a good amount of time before it’s effective (3/10, FWIW). I now have this time to help transition my responsibilities to other people in my team, other groups in the company, and to eliminate the rest.
I also have time to find a new position either within or outside. Now I really need to get working on that resume. I’ve been suspecting that I’ve needed to, but inertia is not my friend. At least this is a good kick in the pants with respect to overcoming said inertia.
I haven’t yet decided whether or not I want to stay or go. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. I guess the best thing I can do is to keep an open mind and see what’s available. So… Anyone know of any good job openings?
