I went through a similar situation nearly eight years ago. I had relocated to a new apartment less than five miles from work. The management assured me that all was well and encouraged me to make my move.
Three weeks after my move, on a nice, bright spring morning, I was blindsided when my employer decided to lay off seven of us, plus myself. Their claim was “budget cuts”. The company had spent a good amount of money a couple of weeks earlier on flying in employees from one of the other offices and renting a conference room at a hotel for a “Vegas Night” for employees with prizes. I had only been with them for five months and was out of work for only two weeks before I settled into a three and a half year run with another company in Dallas. Out of a small concidence, this fell one day shy of one year since I had been let go by another company, that time was due to a corporate reorganization. > On Feb 26, 2024, at 10:15 AM, Michael King <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've been quiet about this, but I was part of the 800 folks that Paramount > unceremoniously tossed to the four winds a couple of weeks ago.
