Shun indeed...
...well, a few weeks back I should have seen this coming. I suppose it can't be helped but business is business.
This past Monday (10th) my boss called me to his office. It was about 5. He sat down and so did I and I looked at him. It was hard for him. But he had to just go through his speech. I think the thing I remembered most was, "I don't know if you heard any rumors, but there have been some lay offs going around. Unfortunately, we had to cut some people in our group. I'm sorry to say this but one of them is you."
I sat there stunned. I wanted to cry but nothing came out. But as it got to the end of the conversation it all just came out. It's a good thing he had tissues ready. Its not based on my skill it was because I was still the rookie and I was there for only a year.
HR was not supposed to let us know until today (Wednesday) but my boss felt that would've felt rushed and I thanked him for notifying me in advanced.
So yea...the jist of it all. I got laid off from Midway Games.
They were having financial issues a few weeks back. Like I said should've seen this coming and theres nothing I could do to prevent it.
