In reply to the discussion: I was told my Job position was terminated today [View all]badhair77
(4,208 posts)38. I am so sorry this is happening to you, samplegirl.
I agree with the person who said earlier to fight the urge to just stay home and to yourself. It might be tough but it will keep you in contact with people who can give you moral support. I hope you find a great job soon.
Best wishes to you and the others on this thread who are facing the same situation.
