OK, so it was a typical day at work. Until I got summoned to a meeting in which I along with 50 other employees are told due to economic reasons our position in the company in being eliminated.
I'm stunned! sure people are being fired due to the bad economy! but you never think it will be you. Anyway, we were told to just hand in our keys and call and set a time to come and clear our desks.
I didn't know what to do, so I drove to my husband's office. Broke the news to him in his lunch room.
He seemed to take it calmly which made me feel like "okay, maybe we can work through this, maybe it isn't the end of the world"
Once home I filed for unemployment. It was surprisingly easier than I thought. The whole instructions of 16 pages was more intimidating than the actual filing process!
Maybe the state just wants to scare you out of filing, I'm not really sure.
I also, got in touch with my network of recruiters, sent them an updated resume.
hopefully they will call. (fingers crossed!)
