damn sorry man - welp your job is now finding a job. Get that resume together and start throwing out those applications. What industry you in?

I'm in the mortgage industry.  This is actually the first time I've ever been laid off.  Still pissed about the not getting the PTO pay out.

Dickhead company laid me off last week.  No severance.  Not PTO payout.  40 hours of PTO gone.  

Might want to check with HR about any PTO and ask why you aren’t getting it.  As to getting laid off it happens to everyone and is almost always a numbers game and has little to do with performance.  You will almost certainly find something soon and it will probably be more rewarding

I'm sure you'll be fine. I know it hurts right now but it's usually a very good time to take some self-care time and reflect on your life and career. I know lots of people who have gotten laid off and ended up getting better paid jobs in healthier situations.

lucky y'all, in TX it's an at-will employment state and there's no laws requiring employers to pay out accrued PTO

Wow, that sucks. Shitty on Texas not to have that in law and shitty on the company not to pay it out regardless of the law. Don't worry though, the executives will surely have fat bonuses this quarter. 😞

What do you do, and what are you qualified to do in the mortgage industry.

Where do you live and where do you want to live.

On the plus side, you probably got laid off at the best time, lots of opportunity. 

Definitely. Not only that but wages are increasing as well. A lot of are realizing they need to pay to keep good people, and those paying poo are struggling in a time when there are tons of options.

Not saying everything is roses, but not the worst time to be looking by a long shot.

      Jets footage on the trade back from 65

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Read the first line of my post---then read your response.  A few points---I acknowledge that I have not seen the players on the field yet, something you seem to point out in order to attack my opinion--that is what I call going full  Richard Cranium.  I state that he did not get bullied (trade values don't need performance criteria--they make trades without knowing the performance in the draft--should not have to explain that to you).   He did not get bullied like the trade up last year.  He got us a second rounder back.  How is that like Fitterer last year?  I'll wait for you to answer, but I do not think you will--effectively using things called "facts"

      Clifford is stepping down

      Seems like a legit HC candidate could wind up in Charlotte.  Lakers and Wizards also need a coach, but there are some big names floating out there. Darvin Ham, Buddenholzer, JJ Reddick, Kenny Atkinson, Jerry Stackhouse… Who ya like to *develop* this young team?

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      While I think it'd be silly for anyone to argue that Mahomes wouldn't have done any better here (and is obviously leagues above Bryce), it's worth mentioning...I watched the Raiders/Chiefs game late last year and man did Mahomes and that offense look like absolute trash in a game where Mahomes was continuously running for his life behind an o-line that couldn't block for poo, while trying to throw to receivers getting zero separation, and getting zero help from his run game.  You know, the norm for Bryce every week.  It really did look like I was watching a Panthers game.  That was a game against Aidan O'Connell with a final stat line of 9/21 for 62 yards 0 TDs and yet Mahomes and the Chiefs managed 7 total points up until 2 minutes left in the 4th quarter in arguably garbage time.
