How to deal with company layoff

[kassian]

After 3 yrs of service i was officially layoff from my company thurday september 1. If your wondering I was a CNC machinist and pretty good if i do say so myself. But then they went and upgrade the facility and downsize the worker. So the best way to deal with company layoff is get in your car (RX-7 my car) and chase racer all night long like need for speed underground. 6 win 2 losses....ran out of gas.

The best way to deal with a layoff is to hope that the company will someday fall to the ground, and give you reasons to laugh at their asses for laying you off.

Another more healthier way to deal with a layoff is to smash dishes. There should be some Sushi shops that let you do that for $20 or something. Not sure myself, but I remember seeing it on TV once.

im very sorry to hear that kassian. I hope you the best for success very shortly. As for how to deal with layoffs. well two thnigs you shouldn't do is: get drunk and go on a shopping spree. To deal with a layoff you should install an LSD into your RX-7 go out to open parking lots, open rally fields, deserts and donut/drift/skid/slide yourway back to happiness. or take something from or reminds you of your former job and smash it/runover it till your sadness dies down

Hmm, after the shock wears off, the first thing is to sit down, relax and assess your situation. You have the entirety of the rest of your life waiting, and being a welfare bum isn't a happy way to live. You should have a lot of free time and it's a good point to do some things you didn't have time for, but don't get spoiled by the relative freedom. Figure out how marketable your job skills are and what the current market is. You may need to think about improving/updating your skills, or perhaps even think about changing careers or moving if there just aren't any jobs to be had. Talk to people you know and ask for advice. If you are lucky, someone may be able to set you up with something. This is not the time to be too proud to accept a helping hand. Don't wait until your money runs out, because then your options get very limited. And it's a good idea to start budgeting and cutting out unnecessary luxuries. Things won't happen unless you make them happen, and getting up and doing something goes a long way toward keeping your feelings positive. Sitting around feeling sorry for yourself is pretty much a trip to the gutter and you do NOT want to end up there.

Anyway, some advice to think about. Good luck.

Look at it as a paid way to improve yourself and your job. You can get training to be more marketable or look for a better paying job while you collect unemployment. Some people actually come out happier after being laid off, its up to you to make the most of it.
