How did you react when you lost your job?

It was ot me who lose the job..my younger sister and i saw her really sad and i know she is just trying to smile , as a sister i know whats going on around her, she is so depressed and I just gave her a huge hug and say everything is okay.. will be okay..I know what it feels like..But be positive as the wheel might turn your page.. Goodluck!

I'm sorry you are facing this situation, and about to be retrenched from your job soon. If I were in your shoes, I'd feel a sense of shock, uncertainty and dejection. It is heartbreaking to lose a job you enjoy doing for a company you enjoy working in. In this modern world, jobs are not considered iron rice bowls anymore, and the only constant is change, even if we do not like changes. It can be unsettling, I know. But at least you are not asked to leave because of poor performance or behavior, but because the company couldn't survive. So if it is any consolation to you, you can leave holding your head up high, and at least feeling proud that you had worked for this company till the end when it decided not to continue operations. I hope your company will give you some good retrenchment benefits for abruptly terminating your employment with them, and even help staff find new placements with other companies within the same industry. That may help you and your colleagues move to other companies and still stick together. It's good if people you work well with are still together working elsewhere. If this assistance is not extended, then I hope you will be able to find an alternate job quickly after your last day with your present company. My best wishes to you.

When I lost my job, I was devestated. There was a big not in my stomach and I knew my goose was cooked! Trying to forget that day. djbtol

Oh those memories! This happened just after I got married. We both were hard-working youths with stars in our eyes and at 24, we thought our jobs were enough to see us through life. Two months into marriage, my company served the notice for closure. We both panicked! I was desperate to get a job, any job (his single income wasn’t even nearly enough). Finally I got one at a hole-in-the-wall office with a meager pay (but something was better than nothing). You can’t imagine my depression those few months. Most of the days, I did not want to go to work. I would turn up late and leave early most of the days. I hated the very thought of sitting whole day in that cubby-hole. Finally I left it and again I was without any money. I did not even have money to make phone-calls to prospective employers or send letters by post. I know how it feels to have your company wind up. Its bitter, its depressing, its panicky. But since you have one month’s time in hand, be prudent in your search. Don’t land up like me somewhere where you cant even sit for one singe day peacefully.

I had been laid off a couple of times. I was very sad when it happened with my first job because I loved it so much. But then you learn to move on. Taking on different jobs makes you learn so much more and can be a very enriching experience. So don't worry. You'll be okay.

Losing a job is a major problem when you didn't expect it is very upsetting. Of course you will experience sleepless night thinking to find another job. Nowadays it's very hard to find job. But of course you will find another job that's suit your criteria. Just try and try until you find better job. Don't lose hope my friend.. Happy hunting!

Hi positivemined, Im not working.but if i have job. I Will alwayor be sincere and respect my job,my office,staffs,my boss,my customers. Then how can they dismiss me or suspend me..?.?.?they cant do that.:-D Happy MyLoting:-)

I have not come across such situation yet and I hope i would not have to go through that but a few years back I almost ended up in that same situation as yours but I decided to do all i can to pull the company up and now things have stabilized. I hope you would be able to get a new job soon.

Yes, I found myself suddenly unemployed. I was upset for two weeks, too upset to go looking for a job. But I missed opportunities that I may or may not have gotten. However, when you're crying or depressed, it's not a good time to look for a job. So what I'm saying, I guess, is that I wish I could have started hunting for a job immediately, I might not have been out of a job so long. Opportunities don't happen very often up here. Once I had composed myself, most of the jobs in my field weren't being offered anymore and I ended up taking a job at half the amount. Mostly, it was bad timing. If I had been let off two weeks earlier, I could have recovered and tried all those opportunies. Of course there is nothing saying I would have gotten any of them. I'm sorry for your job loss. My job was supposed to be a four year grant. Only one year. Hope you find a good jobs and all the openings you're interested in come when you're up to going for them. Take care and please let us know how you're doing.

Don't worry for that . Keep confidence in you always . Thats what needed in our life for long . There are a lot of sites online in which you can submit your resume and get the right job. So getting jobs these days are not a serious problem at all right ? We all are with you , just be happy always . Good luck man :)

I just pray & give it to Almighty God,& let him decide for my life...

If this will happen to me, I will feel sad and frustrated specially if Ive been working with the company for many years and gain lots of friends. Goodluck to you. I know that you could still find a good job like this. Just think positive and God will find a way..=)

i feel very bad to u that u lost your job don't be upset try again i hope you find another job very early .i never face this situation in life.
