Popular Post Dex 17,379 Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 Got laid off due to COVID in May. I worked for NBC Sports and with the lack of sports being played the writing was on the wall. Got really depressed and stopped taking care of myself. Anyway... I'm a video producer & editor and I got a call from a Washington DC based company in early October asking me to do freelance work. Long story short I've been doing freelance work for them for 2 months and they just offered me a full time position last night. I'll be making nearly twice what I was making at my previous job and I'll also be a true Senior Producer for the first time in my career. It's a fantastic company with great people and clients and I'll be moving to Washington DC. I can finally breathe. Anyway congrats to @ladypanther and to all of the people struggling keep your chin up. 8 3 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shocker 6,555 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Great news man. Cool that things worked out so well. For anyone that is laid off, seriously don't take it personally. It is almost always a numbers game and the people making the call either have no idea who you are or don't give a shet anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The major Mid-Atlantic cities are probably my least favorite area of this country and Baltimore is at the very bottom. Sign a short lease. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
