It hit to close to home

My younger brother just got laid off todayChat Icon Chat Icon I feel so incredibly bad for him... He called me so upset and worried he has 3 children (one just a baby) What sucks is that he just left a job that he was at in August because this company recruited him for his expertise and now this the week before Christmas!!!! I am putting ALL my feelers out for him He is an It specialist who has worked on Global COmmunications all over the world.

I guess I am just asking for Chat Icon Chat Icon and give others Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon who find themselves here as well.

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon for your brother! I think it's a testament to how bad things are that some of these layoffs couldn't wait until after the holidays. In November we were told the next wave would be in January, so I thought I was ok until then, but no, Dec. 3rd they let me go. I hope your brother finds something soon, especially having a family to take care of!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: It hit to close to home

oh man- i'm so sorry.
i know how it feels... my husband just got laid off too- and all our insurance was under him. Thankfully he got 3 months severance w/ the health insurance lasting that long as well... but it's still scary.
and he had a company car that was taken away.
