Well damn
 

As many know, I've been studying for a new certification as dictated rather heavily by my Manager. I passed on Friday. Today I was told I am out of a job.

Ain't that some shit?

Damn. Sorry to hear it, Dave. You'll bounce back, I'm sure.

That seems like a really bad certification to have.

Sorry about the job deal. Hopefully you land on your feet and find a better job quickly.

Damn bro, that sucks. Sending some positive vibes your way. When one door closes another opens, and it's likely your ticket to better things!!

Dude... I very sorry to hear that....Must be some real assholes running that place... I'm sure you'll find something better soon..

Sorry to hear that, bro. You'll bounce back.

Chin up, dude. You'll land on your feet at a bigger and better opportunity.

**** those guys.

Lots of tech jobs out there. You will find a better place.

Thanks fella's. Everything's good. I just loved working for Hewlett Packard. I've got skillz and

Ouch. Hopefully the certification can help you land a better job anyway.

Also relevant.

Sorry to hear it. Hope they paid for the certification and you use it to land something better.

Had this happen to me once. Ended up my boss knew a shakeup was coming and "strongly encouraged" a bunch of us to get additional training while the company was helping pay for it, never letting on about the layoffs around the corner.
I was ticked off until I connected the dots. Then I was glad for getting the boot. You will land some place even better!

ugh

youre a good dude...Youre witty and smart..

I know its a cliche but this will lead you to something even better.

Good luck with the search brochacho.

I needing a REALLY hard worker if you're interested.

ROFL......Your forearms will look like Popeyes...

I'm self employed in that line of work. Doing well with no shortage of work.

:hmmm:

Something smells funny in Denmark- not Kosher

Do you think he knew you would be let go and had you take the certification test to help you out?

Sounds like a great time for a vacation.

So pay for your certificate then let you go? Sounds like terrible management there.

You'll bounce back quickly but sorry you have to go through this.

He indicated as much. But I don't need it. I have a Masters in it. And they didn't pay for it. ($1K)

Thanks sho63.

Sorry to hear. Sucks. Stay positive, you'll bounce back.

Ha. You are one who I annoyed with my PM shit. LOL

A better job awaits.

No worries homey.

:( Sorry to here this.

You could always make your time off productive.

Go get a colonoscopy and check to see if you have cancer.

Enjoy the opportunity!

I read that as honey. Got me all excited. Tease

I typed honey. ****ing autocorrect.

Then that really sucks balls! :cuss:

Wait about 6 months, put on a disguise and slash his tires. It will make you fell better. ROFL

as big of a **** you can be on here , I hope things turn around soon for ya

Blow me. I'm the only guy here who can stomach you.

Love you!

Sorry to hear about the shitty situation..I come bearing a gift of slut to make your day better

What's with all the clothing? Thanks Mac!

If I was there I would buy you a drink or fifty. Your choice but it's one or the other. That's how I roll.


I'm gonna be there for fifty anyway

Fiddy. I got something for you too.

If I had known you worked there, I would've asked you why my printer isn't recognizing my new ink cartridge.

Wish this was the year I was getting to barrett Jackson

Because **** you, that's why.


At least every time I have a computer issue that's what it is for me.

I guess u didnt measure up to those who didnt get fired:shrug:

Your response should havebeen ...."you dick!"

Sorry to hear eDave. Wishing for the best.

HP sucks.

I guess you don't know what the **** you are talking about. Big surprise.

Hopefully your employer or ex-employer paid for it?


That's some BS

Get a job at Dell move to Austin then kick HP ass up one side and down the other.

Good Luck Dave though I know you wont need it.

I just negotiated to expense it. They are cool. Circumstances is all.

Sorry to hear that man. You are a sharp guy, (except at 3am in DC :D)so I'm sure you will land on your feet right away into something better! Best of luck!

On a whim, I stopped off at Dunkin Donuts before a meeting. Brought the whole group some.

Same day I got let go.

I'm never going to Dunkin Donuts again.

Good luck Dave. At least you have a brand new certificate for the resume.

LOL. Oh man.

Did you still let them eat the donuts?

That's the thing. I had the cert before and I hold a Masters in it. I was bent about having to re-cert anyway. Then ****.

AND I'm taking my ****ing donuts with me.

In my experience, they eat the donuts then they **** you.

Best wishes for a soft landing man.

Not me. Last guy I fired knew it was coming because I told him I didn't want anything from the gas station on his way in and I always had him pick me up.a soda lol.

LOL. Tipped your hand.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I'm sure your skills are in demand. Stay positive.

Did HP give you a package for the layoff?

ROFL....guess not...never been fired

I will get a package. Don't know the details. It was an early heads up. Last day, as of now, is end of March when my current program concludes.

Sales just hasn't landed any deals so there is nothing for me to manage. Things might change but doubtful. The HP split is the root cause. Corps are leary of HP support right now. Thanks Carly.

Thanks Gadzooks

"Fired" is a bit heavy. What kind of asshole trolls a thread like this?

Felt better that way, lol.

A dirty non wiped one.

We will just call him skid mark from now on.

What up SM?

Just screwing wirh u..sorry.
Best of luck landing a new role

Skid mark is sticking, don't try to ****ing apologize your way out of it.

Who cares what you think? No one was talking to you

Is a month pay per year served the standard at HP?

Obviously the guy responding.

I spent a year recently working for HP on a contract with a customer. Their management is for shit. They have no clue on how to treat employees or listen to their customer.

They did treat me well and when they got fired wanted me to stay with them.

I know. I hit you via rep. All good.

AMEX?

Sucks. I'm under a ****assload of stress doing my own thing but I always hated interviews. Basing a minimum of 2000 hours of work on an hours worth of interview is absolutely asenine.

All the best.

Actually, I love interviewing. I interview them.

I'm sorry to hear the news, Dave. I'm sure the unemployment won't last long but be sure to take a couple of weeks between gigs to decompress.

Enjoy that April Arizona weather! :)

I'd like to do what i do in Hollywood dude.

That may be a possibility. Netflix is moving into the new Columbia Square tower at Sunset & Gower. There's also a 1.4 million square foot building going up at the Crossroads of the World at Sunset and Cherokee.

Plus, there's always Silicon Beach.
