It's been a huge struggle the last few days to be happy and move one. As of June 30, 2011 I am no longer employed at Ziplocal. The company that I have worked for, for over 3 years. The day went as followed. I guess I should start with the day before.
On Wednesday I actually had gotten written up for getting to many spelling errors which I thought was kind of a joke because I had not been told it was becoming a problem so that kind of annoyed me and I ended up feeling really crappy that day and ended up crying at work. I also got in trouble for not having this project done so Wednesday I had worked my butt of to get as much of this project done as I could.
The next day I decided to come in a little early so I could get more of this project done so I was probably at work around 7:30am and worked my butt off getting e-mails sent out, packets keyed, and things recorded into the system. Around 9:30 our whole team was brought into our bosses office and the VP of LocaLeads informed us that "today will be your last day". All I could think was "Are you kidding me!!" it was so unfair they didn't even give us much of a warning. I was in complete shock and to make things even worse they would not let me go and talk to my sister for a long time after and that is when I just broke. I cried for over half the day I've have grown many friends from working there and pretty much thought that I had lost everything. As the day wore on they made us stick around till 2:00pm which drove us all crazy because we just wanted to leave. Everyone just kept saying that we were not making enough revenue and it wasn't to the companies best interest to keep us around.
When you spend most of your time working and thinking about work and all of a sudden you don't have that I felt lost. I have no idea what to do with myself. It's so discouraging to know the product you have been almost slaving over for over 6 months is gone. I feel broken inside like I'm not good enough. I'm very terrified what the future will bring me. Do I get another job just to have a job. Do I go to MATC to get a better job? Or do I go and finish doing my dental hygiene. I seriously have never been more lost or confused I don't even know where to start. Any suggestions please help

Girl, I feel for you. I felt like this after I got kicked out of grad school. You'll be okay. You've got family who will support you, and friends that will be there for you. I promise to keep my ears open.
There's some quote that says something to the effect of "You have to take a step into the darkness before God shows you the light." I think my supervisor at the U said it best: Life is not a straight line from point A to point B for ANYONE. It may look that way for some people sometimes, but, really, it just ain't.
Good luck! You'll be okay, and you know I'm only a phone call away if you need me. :) Love ya!
I'm so sorry about your job. That is really tough - especially because you worked so hared there. I hope you're feeling a little bit better! Maybe it is a good time to finish your dream to do dental hygiene. :) Call me if you need to chat! Love you!
Aww Jess! I'm sorry that it was so abrupt. That company is the pits. Seriously, I think going back to school is a good idea. (plus you can take pre-reqs with me). Everyone pays you more just for having that little piece of paper.
Like the comments above, call me if you need me. I love you!
