I just ended my contract last aug 31 on my work, there are no renewal of contracts since the new boss in our company wants new employees from recruitment agencies. I feel so sad about it because there are lots of employees lost their job because of this decision.
My officemates prepare something for me that day, I pretend to be okay although i'm not.. I'll surely miss them, my work, everything on that place.. but i know God has his reason right?
Now that I don't have work for now, maybe i'll stay here at mylot and start earning some money..
How about you? have you ever been in this situation? how you feel about it?
Thanks in advance.. Happy posting!

Losing a job is never easy especially when you also have to lose the friends you have been with for such a significant amount of time.
With my experience, I thought I was already prepared for the big day. But when that day came, I still felt sad. I was going to surely miss the job that I loved and I was also going to miss the people that I considered as my friends and buddies.
You just have to deal with what you're feeling right now. And hope that you get over it quickly. But don't loose hope that you may lose some for now, but you may gain more again some day, much much more.
If you want to rely on earning money here at MyLot, you must need lots of patience and stamina to sit for long periods of time.
Goodluck!^_^

You are right.....there is a reason for everything. I had the same thing happen many years ago. I was sad. I was contracted too and had my job for over ten years when the contrat expired. They hired another company. There were very mixed emotions as I liked my job in some ways but also looked forward to trying something new. I have been at this job now for 22 years and I am seriously looking for something else......good luck to you!

Reading your post made me sad too. Its surprising how suddenly we are made redundant in our very own workplace because some smartass suddenly has some bright new ideas. But from a neutral position, its very difficult to blame anybody too. The new guy is in a big rush to prove himself to whosoever it may concern, so he will take every short cut in the books, ethics be damned. Otherwise, very soon if he can’t meet his ‘target’s he’d be the one to get the boots! What these people don’t understand is that trained manpower is never a liability and as the management representative, its your job to make the business viable by increasing the volume of transaction, not by kicking out old loyals who are likely to contribute more fruitfully than some new kid-on-the-block. Anyway, your office’s loss has been Mylot’s gain and as long as you make some money, you should be OK I guess.

I am glad that I could make you feel better. I just wrote what i feel inside. this is becoming a global phenomenon now and is one of the prime reasons for rising attrition rate, but 'management gurus' will never learn. Anyway, thanks for the honour and keep writing.

Hi... I have ever felt the same you feel now. But I always believe that God will show me the right way, and He always does. Maybe He wants me to must go out of one place to find another better place somewhere. So just cheer up. You still can arrange a non formal gathering with your friends at your house ^_^.

Hi! sad to hear about your work, I now how hard it is to find a new job now a days, here in our country,unemployment statistics keeps on rising yearly..but you still have hopes of course, you have the edge because you have the experience, besides doing mylot,you can browse the net and maybe chance upon an employment opportunity.
You might not know,that this can be ablessing in disguise..God has wonderful plans to each and everyone of us..and he can never go wrong.Keep on trusting Him. :)
For the meantime, enjoy your time here in mylot! happy posting!
