Yesterday I was
"terminated". Luckily I am still breathing. In some ways I'm
breathing easier. The feeling of doom had been building for months. I truly
cannot take this personally. The management at my previous employer (to remain
unnamed) sold products they had not developed and which they did not have the
resources to create. Then they drove the employees to develop software without
analysis or plan on a ridiculous schedule. Once a major customer realized that it was all a sham, my previous company was dropped like a hot potato. I was a mere
cog in the proverbial broken engine. They fired about 25% of the people, which makes sense since they last about 25% of their revenue.
Now that I have
time, I'll post my job search progress for your entertainment. Hopefully it
won't turn into a saga of lost housing and bankruptcy. If you know of anybody needing a “data
transformation specialist” with expertise in SQL Server and SSIS, let me
know.
Today, I’m heading
to the Employment Division to file for unemployment benefits, and making appointments
with the dentist and doctors to take advantage of my last 30 days of medical
benefits. Also, I've contacted a job search specialst recommended by a friend at http://www.lindarolie.com for help with my resume.
