I just finished filling out my unemployment form.
You see, my position was "eliminated" at my now former place of employment. I had been working there for a solid 3+ years and pretty much built up my area into a stable rock of manufacturing efficiency. However, it seems I was too good and was no longer necessary to the process. Man, I haven't been without a job for like, 10 years.
Has anyone else here been the victim of a "streamlining" or "efficiency" plan?
Ever been flat out fired for fucking up royally?
Have you ever just quit?
Gather 'round and enlighten me with tales of survival and new beginnings!

I have a job interview friday.
I've been trying to reach you, but your extension cord doesn't reach that far.
Actually yes.
I was a robotics tech.
Did they make a robot that can service other robots? Hot!
Half the jobs at my employer could be eliminated if they had a decent IT department instead of a bunch of contractors who don't give a damn about anything but getting paid. I find that funny.
Yeah, I've been laid off and I've had my position eliminated. Never been fired, though.
It's not that hard, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do shit.
My uncle, he's a farmer. He don't grow corn.
Mr. Nhaaeaherarara
Mr. Notgonnaworkhere

see, my friend (who also worked there) had been picking me up every day on his way to work. one day, i decided i was sick of him always badmouthing everyone he knew behind their backs, so i called him out on it. his response to this was kicking me out of the car 4 miles from home and refusing to pick me up ever again.
i called work the next day to have them mail me my last check and apologized for having to quit on such short notice.
i got an email from him about 2 months later apologizing for being an ass, which i promptly ignored.
it seems he realized that the only reason any of his "friends" put up with him is because i always defended him. once i was out of the picture, they ditched him.
that was a pretty good day for me.
No one wants to hire me.
I think I'll just sink into a depression, that's cool, right?

Course they hired me back every May, but it's still funny to see termination notices arrive in the mail every fall.

I can actually get retirement benefits from my employer when I'm 51.
EDIT: Well that's not exactly true. I've had various second/summer jobs that I've phased in and out of. Lesser gigs, like working at Gamestop for a while, and I usually do summers at a landscaping company
That's the plan.
By the way can i interest you in a pyramid scheme?
