Wow - very sorry to hear - that sucks.That my office is shutting down in 2 weeks (on my birthday) and that I'll be out of a job.

2 weeks pay for each year worked, capped at 6 years. So I'll be getting 8 weeks. Not bad, but I'd rather have an actual job.Wow - very sorry to hear - that sucks.That my office is shutting down in 2 weeks (on my birthday) and that I'll be out of a job.

With it shutting down I guess no severance?
Really want to stay here in Ohio. My wife and I love it. 2 year is a bit vague on her opinion. Neither of us want to move back to DC. But, jobs in my field are limited here and more plentiful there. That's really the more crappy part. That I may have to leave here.Moving back to the DMV or going to try to find something there?
Coworkers actually found out last monday. Didn't call me to let me know so that I could enjoy my vacation. Not entirely sure if knowing last week would've been better or not.At least you got to enjoy your vacation.
Oh how quickly we forget...Extended vacation!
Jk sorry to hear that. Youll be fine
I dont forget. THats why I said he'll be fine. Getting laid off was the best thing that ever happened to me, I just didnt know it at the time.Oh how quickly we forget...Extended vacation!
Jk sorry to hear that. Youll be fine
GL Rayderr - hopefully it works out in your favor in the end.
This. Ohio is a beautiful State--good luck!Sorry to hear. The unknown is scary but 8 weeks is a hell of a jump start on finding a new gig, silver lining and all.
Good luck FBG brethren.
10, really. Either way, having to find a job and move in the same amount of time sux hard. gllllSorry to hear. The unknown is scary but 8 weeks is a hell of a jump start on finding a new gig, silver lining and all.

Telecommunications. Specifically, Video Telecommunications.You mind me asking what field?
The work is what keeps me in the DMV. I hate the traffic and how overpriced everything is but if my company goes belly up on morning, I can have another job before lunch that day.Really want to stay here in Ohio.

My biggest fear as well. but with 3 kids and SAHM.Thanks for the well wishes.
Been unemployed before (granted that was like 15 years ago) but now I have a wife (stay at hime mom) and 2 year old. It scares me ####less that I have 2 people to provide for and soon won't have a way to do it.

Great way to approach this.GL
Get something better.
Dammit, beat me to it.Sorry to hear that, man.

are you a cam girl? If so, RN will pay your bills for awhile.Telecommunications. Specifically, Video Telecommunications.You mind me asking what field?
I tried for years to get a gov't job. Not very easy to get unfortunately.Does DoD contract out all of their telecommunications work? Is a fed job a possibility in your field? If you're at a time in your life that you're mostly concerned about job security, that might be the route to go. You'd likely take a pay cut, though.

Not sure if this would be a good fit or not (duties, pay, etc), but it does have OH as one of the possible locations. Not a lot out there in the 0390/0391/0392 series. Not sure those are the right series for you or not. Those are just the "telecommunications" ones that popped up in USAJobs. What job series would you apply for with the feds?I tried for years to get a gov't job. Not very easy to get unfortunately.Does DoD contract out all of their telecommunications work?

As far as the contracting out, well, that's the thing, they're going to a government owned (and apparently run) system, and trying to get off the current contractor one. They blew $50mil 10 years ago trying to develop a replacement that was a colossal failure. They spent even more to have another company build them a new system, which is over budget and behind schedule, and according to the current people using that system, is problematic as hell. The gov't people are going to be running it are just IT people who have no experience in the field and of course still have to do their normal workload. Obviously if a position opens up over there (via someone leaving or creating new positions) I'll obviously go for it. But as it is, that department has no plans to even backfill positions that are vacated with a wave of upcoming retirements.

This actually does sound totally awesome. :jealous:Have a phone interview this afternoon. Found a listing for an engineer job back on Tuesday and sent of my resume on a bit of whim as it's one of those kitchen sink listings so I wasn't sure if I was qualified enough for it.
Run and maintain VTC equipment? Check
Run and maintain TV studio equipment? Check
Repair solar panels? Ch...wait. What? Is this really part of the job duties or are you just having issues with the panels you installed at your house?
Headhunters have apparently approached many of my coworkers about the job the last couple days (which reminds me to make my resume public on careerbuilder again). But apparently I'm the only one that the actual hiring manager for the company has scheduled an interview with. It's on the same installation I'm working now so no change in commute if I'm lucky enough to get it.
Not sure if it's "better" than my current job other than the fact that it'll last longer. I actually enjoy my current job. Like my hours (6-2), it's a relatively easy job and gives me plenty of time to argue here in the FFA and play Candy Crush (one of those weird jobs where you have less work if you actually do the work.) get to wear T-shirt and jeans to work. Pay and benefits are good.
Anyways, wish me luck.
I posted from my iPhone. I only typed the unbolded part. I have no idea where the other stuff came from. I remember the warranty discussion, but that was months ago and there is no way it was in my memory. I am shucked.WTF?Which seven do you find worse?
