My husband just got layed off..Help

That is really strange as here in the UK they still have to stick to the Notice as well and if they let you go earlier then your Notice they have to still pay you till the Notices are up I am so sorry this has happened to you and I really hope that your Husband finds another job I know what you are going through as I nearly lost my Home when I was bullied out of Job 3 years ago because of my Illness Now my Son owns the House I forced to sell it to him as I could not get a job because of my Illness and it took 18 months for them to grant me Disability You will be in my thoughts and please try not to dispair to much or you will make yourself Ill I will hope for you that your Husband gets a job soon and that things will fall into place for you Do you have an Insurance for your Mortgage for this sort of Thing ????

Hopefully evertyhing will work out ok in the end. Myself AND my boyfriend were both laid off right before Christmas, we had to use our Christmas money to pay rent and bills. Still working on trying to get out of that slump. I start my new job on Tuesday though. :)

Send me an e-mail and I can send you an invite to be a chacha guide. Its not as much as your husband was probably making, but every little bit helps. My e-mail is molands81@yahoo.com God bless.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. This is very sad news and hope that you two will be able to figure something out while he looks for a new job. Companies are laying lots of people off these days, mainly to reduce their costs as much as possible. It must be due to the company looking to cut costs. I am sure your husband was a very good worker so I doubt it would be anything else. Will he get a severance package of some sort? How long was he working there? They should give him a reason for laying him off. If not, I would have a serious problem with that.

I would like to start by first saying I hope everything works out for you all. It is tough i could imagine losing your job without notice like that especially when you have bills to pay. I guess the only thing I could say is to try to help him find a job as quickly as possible in order to at least keep you all afloat.

Wow, this is a bummer. So let me see. We go to a local church for free food 1 time a month. That helps. Contact the Salvation Army and see what they can do for you. The Red Cross might be able to do something for you too. Try them last. Go be a telephone worker somewhere until your hubby gets a new job. He should try the temporary agencies since you can get a job easier when you are already working. Not sure why that is however it has been true for us. Keep on working at this too since you seem to make a good chunk of change. That could tide you over for gas or something. My best to you. I am hoping that this is only a temporary thing.

oh no. that really stinks. can he sign up for unemployment? at least its a check coming in until he finds something else. tomorrow is sunday. hopefully there will be some work in the classifieds. can you call some churches or organizations in the area that may be able to help? is there anything I can do? I`m so sorry. that is such terrible news. be sure and keep me updated. hugs to you.

hi margianne, i was sad hearing this. well i think there's some site on the net that pays u for writing articles. i'am not sure whether they actually pay or not but u can check this site http://www.associatedcontent.com if u need more help then u can reply below this there's another site called payposter.com, i think it's similar to mylot because they pay u the same minimum of $10 when u have 1000 points, i'am not sure whether they are genuine but i heard that some guy here got paid

I am so sorry to hear about your husband's job. I was laid off in July, and have been unemployed since then. I just recently got another job, but won't be starting for another month. I know how you feel. At least I got a 3 month severance package with my pay and health insurance, so that helped me immensely. I know that that is the exception rather than the rule, though. Do you have unemployment insurance in your state? It's not much money, but it has helped me to pull things together and make ends meet. What are his prospects for another job? You say that he is educated, so maybe he has contacts that he can begin to make? It always helps to be able to network yourself as being available. I know that nothing I say will make it easier, because nothing helped me. I spent a lot of time worrying and stressing, which is natural. Take a good look at your bills and see which ones you can call and defer. Most places will allow you to pay just the interest on the balance in times of financial crisis. Try to work things out with as many creditors as you can. Hopefully he will be back to work soon.

Oh, I just don't know what to say to you. You are such a kind and caring person, you don't deserve this to happen to you. I know in Canada if this happens there is Unemployment insurance. So I guess there is nothing like that there. What a terrible way to find out you have no job, just dismiss you right on the spot. He must have been so upset. Are there many jobs in your area? I noticed someone else said register with a temp agency. I know my daughter did this while she was looking for a waitressing job. She would get a call almost everyday for work. Call the people you have bills with and explain what happened. They can be extremely understanding. We have to wait for unemployment insurance to take up to 6 to 8 weeks to get approved. So I had to call some of the people we owed money too when my husband had his heart attack and went on unemployment insurance for sick benfits. Is there any family that can help until you get on your feet? I wish there was a way I could help you.

Well I don't have too many suggestions because I know most of them have already been posted. But are you still selling your art? Maybe you could put some originals on ebay or have a sale at your house? Hopefully he will find another job quickly. It's terrible when you don't have any family to help out. And even thoughs like myself. I have family but they can't help much. I have been out of work on disability since june 05. I am on ss disability now, but that took months to get. I hate that you have to dirt poor and destitute to get any help in this country. And even then...if you have no children you can't get much help. Oh, what about a cutomer service job working from home with your computer and phone? There are some very reputable jobs to be found at www.wahm.com I hope I've helped. Keep your chin up, things will turn around soon, I'm sure.

I would check with the companies who employ people from home. I would try to get started on one or more right away. There are many legit opportunities on this site. You can use search to go through them. I am very sorry that the company has done this. It will also help you because there are income tax deductions that you can claim working from home.

we have the same problem i have 3 kids and my husband has been framed for doing things he didn't do and got layed off right away without warnings or notice or anything and i don't know where to get something for a living too.

This is your testing time I am sure your husband will get good and better one as soon as possible be with him and support him and possible help him in earning. so that you can run your house and family well.

Are you able to get an office job that would allow you to sit at a desk to work? I know there are some temp agencies out there that will work with you to find a job that would work out for you. I am sorry that your husband got laid off. I know it is hard. We just went through it last year. And we have seven children to provide for. It was really rough! Is he eligible for unemployment until he can find another job?

getting laid off is no fun espically fi he is the bread winner in the family. i am sure if they aid him off he is getting servance pay or can collect unemployment until he can get another job. i know it may not be as much money as what he was making but at least it would be something.

It will be ok it always is everything always turns out okay. It might not seem that way right now because it just happened. My husband was fired 2weeks ago and I know what your going through. He just found out today he got the job he went for on thursday.But we had to burrow some money from family just to make it through. You will see the light at the end of this tunnel. Try to post as many as you can and stay on here as long as you can it helped me out. It will take your mind off it. If only for awhile it does help. Trust me.

I am extremely sorry to hear this kind of news. Try to breathe and relax a little-You stated that you are having chest pains and you need to take care of yourself so you can help your husband. Even though you don't have health insurance many hospitals cannot turn you away because of your inability to pay. They are called community hospitals. I just don't know if they have one in your area. Because it's the weekend, now would be the perfect time for your husband to work on his resume and post it on job websites like www.monster.com, etc. Start looking in the classifieds and www. craigslist.com for any jobs that he might be able to handle. On Monday he needs to go apply for unemployment benefits. If you can find something where you could still be at home and make an income that would be great--data entry,etc. Look to see if any call centers are hiring in your area--some let you work out of your home if you have unlimited long distance, high speed internet, and you can effectively help people over the phone. I would also look in your area for churches and food banks. These kind of places are not going to deny you because right now you have no income coming in. They also might be able to offer you some more additional services that are available in your area. O.K. Let's talk about bills. Most creditors will work with you even if you can't make the minimum payment each month. You have to at least pay something--this shows that you are still paying your bills and not abandoning them. Look to see if your utility company has a program that will help in situations like yours. Remember you guys will get through this-it looks bleak right now but tough times don't last forever.

He can apply for unemployment. He will not get enough to compensate for his entire pay, but it will help. The employment commision in your area can arrange this. They can also help him find a job. There are many jobs that you could do, where you do not have to stand. If your disability is serious, you could apply for disability and get help from the Social Security Dept. I tore the ACL and PCL tendons in my knee. I could not stand, but I needed to eat, so I found a job. I was out of work for a while, but as soon as the doctor released me after the surgery, I went right back. I did taxes for a woman who was on disability. She was upset because she was not getting back this huge refund that her sister got. I asked her why she was on disability and her response was she tore the acl tendon in her knee. My injury was just as bad as hers, but I chose to do what was best for me, and got back to work. My grandmother always said "Where there is a will, there is a way". Sure there was pain, and there were days when I had swelling really bad, but I did it anyway. You have to eat and survive. Don't try to depend on anyone but yourself, that way you won't be disappointed when others do not follow through. I do hope things work out for you and your husband. Many things can happen to cause financial troubles, being injured and losing a job are biggies. Something else you can do is call your creditors and explain the situation. They can put you on a hardship program that will either reduce payments that need to be made, or put a certain amount of payments at the end of the loan.

That is terrible, but he should be able to get unemployment benefits, due to the fact that he was laid off. Hopefully, he will get a better job in the comming days, and sometimes, it is for the best, so that he can find something that he likes, and such. I do not recommend getting money loans, as it will sink you straight into debt. And, if the bills do pile up, talk to your creditors, and they will work with you. But, do talk to the unemployment office, because he is supposed to be getting benefits. Good luck.
