AFter having had worked at the same company for 33 years, with exemplary performance appraisals, I was laid off a year ago. I had another job in a month. They I got laid off from that job as did 20% of the employees at that company. Then I had a job the very next day who is laying off about 25% of it's employees at the end of THIS month.

Laid off 3 times in 12 months.

I give up. Obama wants me on the dole, I'm going on the f^(*&ing dole and the rest of you suckers can pay for it.

“I give up. Obama wants me on the dole, I’m going on the f^(*&ing dole and the rest of you suckers can pay for it. “

THAT’S when they win. Don’t let them win.

How demoralizing for you and your family. I’d be inclined to think about giving up in your situation. But I’m sure that, in the end, you’re the type of person who would be embarrassed to be on the dole. I’m very sorry for what you’re going through.
