When it rains it pours, right?
So, Friday sucked. It was on my way to an appointment with my lawyer when my phone rang. It was my boss. Hmmm I remembered an email he had sent around earlier that morning saying that there would be a big meeting for the San Fransico. At first I thought they wanted me to be in on that meeting, then it hit me.
All before I answered the phone.
I knew. I was about to be let go. My boss never calls. The call lasted 6 minutes. I was right.
When I was let go by First American in March this year, I had done a video on Seesmic saying that I was just made redundant and if anyone needed a developer… I was your man. Seesmic hired me two days later. That Skype call lasted 22 minutes.
I don’t believe I will be doing a video this time.
Here is a link to it on TechCrunch. The comments make for an interesting read.
Got work?
Hope from the bottom of my heart that it will happen, Critter, don't give up hope. It worked because you were so positive about yourself. It's hitting hard, and my heart goes to you because too many bad news, and bad times at the same moment is hard to swallow and to keep your chin up. I hope that you feel the love and support around you to help you overcome that new hurdle in your life.
I am glad that you are being proactive and I saw you.
All the best!
Damn Critter That really sucks. I never would have guessed this happened from Loics video message saying some back end guys got let go. You were all over seesmic and I had no idea that he was speaking of you! I have no doubt you'll find something better [for real!] very quickly. As I said in reply to Loic's video, these things are temporary and the IT world is so small, who knows maybe you guys will work again sooner than you think.
Until then, head up…you'll get something sweeter. Cheers

BTDT. Before you know it you'll have more work than you can do (and hopefully more money than you can spend).
I am so sorry this happened to you. I am a firm believer that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. One day this will all make sense.
My sympathies go out to you. Get in touch with me about your next opportunity. You know I've always got my ears open and a couple irons in the fire. Take care and be well.
Kind regards,
Justis
