What is the big deal, there is none. Never let your selfworth be tied to a job. Many times employers love to fire you a few days before Christmas or just before a birthday. Just laugh and keep going. Many times the employer thinks they can hurt you more by firing you during these times. There are so many crazy people and employers out there today. Always keep your chin up and remember who you are. You are the same person with or without a job. You are the same person with or without money. Enjoy life and keep going.

I guess I should have highlighted that a little more clearly in the article! I have bolded that now. I do appreciate all the testimonials you guys have added about how the right attitude can certainly pay off.

But as you said it's an opportunity to look on the other side: the bright side. It's a kick in the butt. You will spent a couple weeks harder than usual questionning yourself about what to do etc... If youplan to start some entreprenarial thing, it's a good time to think about it. At the begining it will be hard and you will regret the easy days when after leaving work you did not have to worry. But if you keep working hard enough, you won't regret it. It happenned to me exactly the same way couple years ago, and today I bless that day! Good luck! Sorry for this Jeff!

This happened a few years ago to me, but to your points above I found a better paying more rewarding career with my job searching. I would have never made the career advancement if my company didn't lay me off. Good things can come out of difficult situations sometimes...not always though, so make sure to alway keep a back up plan in place - Even if your current situation is going well. Thanks Jake Revive Your Life Good post Jeff…sorry for your situation.

Tough situation, Jeff. I hope you're able to bounce back into another position soon. Several years back I found myself in a similar circumstance. My employer had extended credit to a lot of un-ceditworthy people and had gotten loans against receivables and inventory to cover their defaults. That bank was bought out and the new bank called the loan, wanting $3.6 million in less than 6 hours. When the owner couldn't come up with it, the bank shut us down and auctioned everything within a week. One hundred forty people were suddenly jobless, including me (with a wife, a mortgage, and three kids!). Knowing our market, our vendors, and our customers, four other guys and myself started our own company in the same exact industry. We were able to take eliminate all the inefficiencies we had complained about at our old jobs and we were profitable within 18 months. Five years later and we were netting more than the old company with only one third the revenue! Hopefully things will work out with you. One thing's for sure, with your positive attitude and skills, you'll be an asset to any company. .-= Ron@TheWisdomJournal´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheWisdomJournal/~3/CUqLvgL8LmU/" rel="nofollow">Guest Post: My How We Have Changed</a> =-.
