Another lost job

[sled_guy]

Well, the ax fell on me today. First thing this morning I was given the 'see-ya' letter and laid off. Not the first time I've been in this sort of rodeo, but never fun.

Short of the long is that I've been doing Software Quality Assurance (Engineer and Management), Development Management and IT work for 20+ years now. If anyone has any leads I'd love to hear about them.

man that sucks buddy..I sure wish our politicians would learn..if they want the country to prosper they gotta give the money to the taxpayers..we make the economy go....if they just allowed everone who makes 40-120,000 a year to skip on taxes for 1 yr.. the amount of money that would roll thru our economy would do more for this world then anything they could ever dream up...

Sorry to hear Dan. You are a highly qualified person. I am sure something will work out for you.

That sucks man. Hopefully you can find some type of employment until you find something in your field or can find someone hiring right away.

I know this economy makes us look at things a bit differently even though our main customer is the USFS. They can terminate our 5 year contracts whenever they please so we really have to put a new meaning to "nod your head, smile and say OK" even more so than we used too. As rediculous as their demnds may be, we try to please them.

I love that idea. What would I do with the $15Gs the federal and state government take out of my paycheck every year. Close to 20G with SS and medicare......25% of my earned money gone before I even see it, then however much more when I purchase, gas....beer...cigarettes...food....insurance...my vehicle to get to work....sleds...registration on tthe sled....

It never ends.

www.oracle.com. I am in sales with Oracle and would guess that we are always looking for guys like you....working from home typically is not an issue either but not sure on a gig like this.

You find a opening that you are interested in pm me and I'll get you straight to the hiring mgr (I can see this info internally, you can't externally).

Best of luck with your search.

I 2nd this idea, I to would love to have the $18 grand extra for a year, now that is a stimulus package that I feel would work, but I think it should be a two year plan instead

That sucks, I am sorry.

Have you checked out Zions Bank, I was just one their Job postings and they have several IT positions posted. I have been with them for 5 years and it has been a great place to work so far. If you see something let me know and I will put in a good word for you for what it maybe worth.
