    Default Crap! Got laid off yesterday.

    Why do employers have such shitty timing? Of all the times to terminate someone's contract why choose 4 days before Xmas?

    Oh well, at least I'll have plenty of free time to get off my arse and make a proper effort to learn how to DJ properly.

    I swear that some employers do it around this time just for fun. I have no idea what you do for work but I can't even count the number of times friends have been laid off a week or less before Christmas. Hope you New Year is better, Happy Holidays

    Unfortunate man! Hope you find another job ASAP. In the mean time just concentrate on DJ'n

    But i also think it has a lot to do with pays etc.. Like if they paid you off at the start of January i think your entitled to that whole years worth of holiday pay which obviously will cost the company compared to telling you now.. It's a bitch.

    That blows man, I feel ya.

    Today is my last day at my BS office job. And I've started an internship at a studio, which is awesome, but unpaid. Apparently it got too expensive at my office to keep employing so many people who do nothing but post on forums and read ESPN all day…so they got rid of all of us. I can't really blame them, but I'm going to miss the paycheck.

    Take on every experience as a new opportunity.

    Sometimes you have to slow down and pay attention to catch the break though.

    I'm confident that everything will work out well for you.
