DEY TOOK MAH JOB! DEY TERK MEH JERB! D'TERK M'JERB! DURKA DURKA DERRRR!
So, a layoff is imminent. My company, a health insurance company, is getting rid of a large bread-and-butter portion of their focus, namely Employee Group insurance. That's the health insurance component that employers give employees.
Guess what area of the company I work for?
The layoff could occur as soon as 60 days from now, or (at max) 6 months from now.
So my manager, who really loves my work, gave me a inside-scoop that our area (Producer Services, basically sales commissions for agents) is going away. I think I better proactively move.
So, any Freepers who need a skilled web- and winforms-developer who is an expert in SQL, please contact me.
A little of what I offer:
If you know someone who is in the industry in a hiring authority (or even not!), ping them to this thread.
This is a difficult time for even experienced developers. There are lots of people from Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and excetera who are very skilled and who are competing with people like me. However, I got something they don't: I'm not a liberal woke a-hole. :)
I retired at the customary age a few years ago and hated it and took a crappy job then stumbled into the best job of my entire life and hope to leave feet-first.
What I am saying is, as crazy as everything is right now, you never know what is coming next.
Could be something very good!
He did say he wanted to boot the tread. I guess we are all helpful in what we have to offer.
Saying some prayers for you! Praying you find something soon.
The IT guy at this place manages dudesolutions.com which is web based access, a pretty full set of MS business web access apps/services tied to the company Windows computers with dudesolutions being able to tie into it. Cameras as mentioned, MS/PC RFIC chip cards for employee building access(global food safety initiative), time clock, digital clocks all over the place for employees to see, all synced on the network.
We make plastic bags including most generic 1 lb ground beef/pork tubes/bags in the US, hence the food safety thing but we don’t strictly adhere to it all. Just enough to cover an occasional inspection and have a certification to add value.
Tons of companies like this are dotted across the country. There are several near me.
One neat thing is that the employee general access PC in the break room area for looking at the company manual etc runs Ubuntu. This IT guy has one boss, the owner. Has his own office with tech equipment all around him.
I have no idea how much tech vs paid SAAS there is.
I am dying to know what job you love so much!
Wait a minute. Why isn’t your top notch skills at hitting it not listed?
Alas, you’re a long way from any of the places I have contacts.
Hmmm... With that outstanding resume summary, all you need is a green card and a Pakistani accent...
Big tech will become a mob chasing you down...😉
IAC, you should not have too much trouble finding the next stop in your career...
Freepmail.
Networking ping...
“… in a small community underneath Lake Lanier.”
Must be very moist there
On it!
Laz can transfer over here to the west side, under Allatoona Lake!
All the Best to you, Laz!
I’ll pray that your next job is the one that God knows is perfect for you.
:-)
Wishing you a happy safe landing somewhere good.
So sorry for the change in direction but perhaps God has something better in mind. I know he has gotten me through some rough times that turned out to be better in the long run.
Check out North Alabama. Everything is growing here. Defense space and commercial is growing and hiring is tight for the companies. Definitely an employees market, for now.
BTTT
Got anything useful here yet?
FReepers unite! Thx, FRiend, for the encouraging word. FReepers need to find Laz a jerb that he’d hit.
Pickins’ is slim, Son.
Even Ganesh has stopped pitching urgent requirement IT openings. These days, Ganesh pumping sheet metal press operator openings into my inbox.
If you are over 45, you may be done.
There’s only one person in my LinkedIndia feed that has VB/SQL experience. It took her a long time find something.
Any data warehousin’ experience?
Here’s another:
