Just Got the Boot From a 7 Year Job

[fredfred]

1) I've been fired several times. Each time I ended up in a much better position. It'll happen to you.

2) There is no loyalty from companies. You can work for them - and you think you are appreciated - but then... after 7 years... see ya.

3) Work for yourself. Why let others make money off you? Get it all for yourself.

Sorry to hear that. I guess I have nothing but best wishes to offer. I'm going through a rough patch myself, so I know life can be awfully hard sometimes. Hang in there, and everything will work out somehow.

Rough patch. I am sorry to hear it. Best of luck finding future endeavors.

In all seriousness, good companies are hiring good people right now, so if you are well-scrubbed, there are opportunities. Maybe not in abundance, but they are out there.
