Laid off 11.11.2010 never came back from it [View all]
Yep, still bitter. I was on top of the world, working in a hospital, making a good salary for a woman in the South. Professionally active. Publishing. President of state association
Id worked 5.5 yrs there. Great reviews, happy drs, covering the work of two workers. Then the diagnosis of in situ melanoma. First domino fell. 4 mos into tx where I was terrified, laid off and tossed away.in the middle of this nightmare, put my 3-legged dog to sleep.
Took me 4 months to find a comparable job and a 25k loss of salary. The layoffees were not even given the holidays. I spent them worried about dying and desperately searching for a job online. Got one 2 states away. Moved $.
Stayed there a yr. The director was a lunatic. Left for a higher-paying but Horrible ( I didn't anticipate it) job few hundred miles away. Found out my previous job was cut in a merger. So it would have been 2 layoffs in 2 yrs. I don't think I could have come back mentally from that. So I did miss that.but i started having panic attacks from the stress.
Had an eventual nervous breakdown due to a toxic job now on ssdi. Ppl say let it go. But everything i worked so hard to achieve was yanked away from me in minutes. Bitter. Very. I nvr came back from it
