my wife just got laid off from her job.... shitty news but hopefully we'll make the most of it. She got laid off two years ago and then found this job which was great but there's a lot of political shit going on and they needed a "fall-girl" and she's it. She'll get a few months to find a job which will help but it sure does suck... I just lost my job in December and thankfully I got this a few weeks later but it's rough on your ego and now she's going through that.
 
well, like I always say, everything happens for a reason. When you least expect something great will come along, something greater than you even planned for.
 
tell her to take advantage of the change, and start right away.. don't let ego slow down the job search.. her new job should be finding another place of employment..

it does suck.. but i've been down the road of ego - unemployment etc.. and it's a tough horse to get back on if you're off the jobmarket for a while.... keep strong, good luck.. and make sure you give her the support she's gonna need...

things will get better

Can't say it much better than that.
Best of luck to you both!
 
Remember 85% of jobs are in the hidden market which means they are not advertised. I would do a mass email or mailing of my resume even if the companies aren't hiring. Hell, thats how I got my job.
 
thanks guys, she's actually a Human Resource Director so she knows all of these things. I hate to sound selfish but it's going to be tough to have to be supportive and miss training because she's already asking for me to be home more now...
 
Sry bro. Keep you head up and try to hold hers up to for a little while. She'll realize that this was their loss and hopefully find something that she likes much better.
 
I have to agree its not the end, its just the beginning. A Human Resource Director. Its not going to be hard for her to find a job.
 
I agree with looking right away. Just makes you feel better about yourself if you
are doing something proactive. Wants you to be home more now??? God, just
like a woman. My wife went through same shit. Took her 3 jobs to find a
"home". The two in between paid the bills but she had shitty bosses - I kept
driving home to her that those only made her a better employee in the long run. Loves her job now - I agree - everything happens for a reason.
