We all here at CB&I have to stop whining. S--- it up and get a game plan going.
This is what successful and resilient people do.
They don't dwell. So what! You are going to have to make changes. WELCOME TO THE THE REAL WORLD. Did you plan on staying at this company forever? Did you base your happiness on this job? If so, stop belong a pansy and deal and adapt! Wish you all the best but stop being weak you got this.
There, there. Go ahead and have a good cry.
Over there. In the corner.
THEN s--- it up.
No. I did not base my happiness on my job. I work for money to live in a decent safe neighborhood, to raise a family, to take care of my elderly parents, and to make my children's lives better than mine. I don't work for fun and I didn't get paid in happiness. I worked for money.
And I didn't take a contract job. I was "permanent" and "full time". Nobody promised me that I would have my job for life but just because nobody promised me that I wouldn't have cancer doesn't make me indifferent or weak or whiny if I get cancer and then am upset about it. Real people, normal flesh and blood human beings, express themselves when things are good and when things are bad. We are not stoics and this is not the army or England and I don't have a goddamn stiff upper lip. If you don't want to read the emotional reactions of real people who are going through a painful process, then why are you reading this f---ing board? It's not like we are reacting to something that happened three years ago. It was yesterday. If you can't empathize, or at least hold your smug and condescending tongue, then you are exactly the person who needs to read this.
Right now my very humble goals in life like food, shelter, medical care, education, and someday retirement are less certain. I am not working to get my next Maserati or a personal jet. I will have to scramble just to get back to normality but the loss of income in the interim and the sh--ty severance make it is unlikely that I will catch up. I will always be so many months behind what my goals were. Hopefully there is enough money to keep up with the mortgage and the doctor bills. But life is just full of all sorts of really sh--ty surprises so who knows?
Yes, my kids can always change schools and go to community college. We don't really need a house, let's get an apartment. My parents can always ...
I don't blame the current management. This is out of their hands. But there are corporate haves and have nots and I assure you that the same ugly choices, or any choices, are not being thrust upon the corporate haves.
"Cold"? Tough advice? No. You just being a condescending a--hole.
Cold. Some good points about not relying on your employer for life, but have some sympathy. What about someone who left a comfortable job for the promise of CBI family and was let go within the month due to fault if his/her own. Was maybe even hired knowing they would probably be let go. What if they spent money and relocated. Your comments, while motivating to some, are like salt in the wound of others.
Lol, I see the PR/HR cronies have made their posts.
IM PUMPED! Thank you shill
Oh, this is #gold:
