Just another victom of the sub-prime mortgage meltdown. The good thing was that it came at 4:00 pm and I had been at the bar since 1:00 pm. I knew it was coming but just not so quickly. They did send me a nice email and a pre-recorded message on a teleconfrence for me and the others who got the ax to enjoy.

all in all, i'm in a pretty good mood, I already had some other things lined up, and I know I'm not the first. I made it 36 years without the pink slip, not bad.

Congratulations!

I got "the call" out of the blue May 2, 2005. In retrospect, the best thing that could have happened to me!

Enjoy your new opportunities!

Calypso - sorry but like Rum said - hopefully this happened for a reason and a better opportunity is right around the corner!!!!

Lasalle? I heard they were laying a bunch more people off up here (again).

Sorry! Hopefully something better will come up next for you.

Thanks, I always say "I was looking for a job when I found this one". I'm not sure what that means.

I also quote old "Tricky Dick" and say "you wont have me to kick around much longer"

Hang in there. Losing a job is one of the big 5 stresses life can bring you. And I'll bet you'll look back an find the silver lining in the whole event.

Keep on living your life like a song FINS UP!!!

Hope great opportunties await you.

Sadly it's a daily trend around here lately.

I'm not far behind you!!

I work for PHH Mortgage. It was announced Thursday that we are being purchased by GE Capoital Solutions & The Blackstone Group.

Today in the Philadelphia Inquirer, they quoted a guy who I have not doubt has a nice Golden Parashute say they would shut down our office in Mt. Laurel, NJ within a year.

The moral of the story, Don't jump into a job with PHH Mortgage.

Good Luck!!!

Sorry!! At least you had a little forewarning. If I was going to get this news, I'd like to be in a bar when it happened! If you believe in fate, or any of that other mystical stuff that I always find seems to be driving my life (I know I sure as he!! don't have the wheel!), maybe this is just a great new beginning for you. Not matter what, best wishes and major phin power to you!!!

so sorry to hear about this! Good luck with where ever the road may lead

sorry to hear about your job. Hopefully something better will be in your future!!

Sorry this happened to you Like everyone says....may the next opportunity be a better one!

Perfect!!

AS the man says.............


Breathe In, Breathe Out, Move On.



It's all good, It's part of the joy of living.

Sorry to hear about the bad news.

I've never had a 'good' job that I didn't get laid off or fired from.
A job should be fun -- or else it's just work. (I'm not knocking 'work' mind you. It has its place.)
Sadly, I've outlived most of the employers who have ditched me.
But it's the stink-a$$ jobs that stick to you like a booger for 10-20 years at a time.

Remember your blessings, and count all your dreams.

Eleven years ago I got divorced, downsized and a DUI all within 30 days of each other, it was like I was in a bad movie. After that I opened my own business, got married to a great woman and stopped drinking and driving and life is awesome now. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you respond to things. Stay positive and focused and you will be fine. At the time I hated my job, was miserable in my marriage and was partying way too much, so I kind of new I was in need of some changes and they all happened at one time and I survived and moved forward.

Have a great weekend and hit the pavement on Monday! Best of luck to you!
