Well, I got laid off today.

If I'll be honest, I'm completely unsurprised. There was a lot of restructuring going on, a ton of layoffs last year, and there were a few signs that caused me to think I might get the axe next.

Upside: I'm leaving with excellent references and a halfway-decent severance package. Downside: jobsearching. Augh. Fuckin' hell.

I'll deal with this on Monday. I've had quite enough of work for today.

Really wish there was a judo class tonight - throwing some guys around would be cathartic. Alas.

Oh dear. I hope you can find something quickly. Job hunting is awful :(

[yuuago]

Thanks. <3 I'm sure I'll manage to get something! In the meantime... ugh. ;p

[octahedrite]

Here, you can o-goshi me 🫂

[yuuago]

Ha! If I could, I'd take you up on that! <3

[seerofrage]

Job searching is the actual worst. I hope you don't have to do it long; wishing you all the best!

[nanslice]

Ooof, that sucks. :\ I hope the job hunt goes well, at least!

[torachan]

I hope you find something new without too much trouble!

[hokuton_punch]

Ugh, I'm sorry. D: Enjoy some freedom this weekend, and I hope the job hunt goes well!

[yuuago]

<3 Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

[yuuago]

<3 With luck it'll be short!

[yuuago]

<3 Thanks! Hopefully. :D

[yuuago]

<3 <3
I'll try to enjoy the weekend, at least. We'll see. ;)

[allekha]

Aw, that sucks. Good luck with the (hopefully short) job search!

[ireneultramarine]

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that. Job searching can be hell, but I really hope it will be smooth for you. Best of luck!!

[kanadka]

Aww man. D: I'm so sorry, that's rotten. I'm thrilled you have good references and severance package - it really is the least they can do - but these everywhere restructuring movements have absolutely got to stop. I hope you find something much better super fast. In the meantime, I hope you can enjoy your weekend!!

[straightforwardly]

I wish you the swiftest and most painless of job hunts!

[yuuago]

<3 Thanks, mate. I appreciate it. :)

[yuuago]

<3 Thanks! Hopefully it'll be short.

[yuuago]

Yeah, it's definitely The Worst. On the one hand, even the upper management at my office wanted to keep me, so that's a good feeling. On the other hand, there wasn't anything they could do about it - apparently they were looking company-wide for remote work for me, but there was just nothing. Ah, well, after this long, it's time to move on. :V

[yuuago]

<3 <3 Thanks!

[minutia_r]

Ooof, good luck with your job hunt!

[yuuago]

<3 <3
Thanks! I'm trying to be optimistic about it, but oof. xD

[artificialsatellite]

Argh, I'm so sorry to hear that! My fingers are crossed for you with the job search.

[yuuago]

<3 Thanks, it's appreciated.

(I feel to say "Please pardon the Doom And Gloom so soon after you added me here, it's not normally like this" [/facepalm])

[artificialsatellite]

Pshh! If you can't Doom And Gloom in your own journal, where can you?

[yuuago]

WELL... Okay, yeah, I admit. You have a point. ;)

[taevachi]

Dang it, I'm sorry it happened! Job hunting sucksss but I hope you'll strike gold

[dhampyresa]

I'm sorry that happened and I hope you get to throw some guys around soon.

[yuuago]

<3 Thanks for the well wishes!

[yuuago]

<3 TY, m8. There's a class on Monday, so I'll definitely be able to let off a little steam! :D
