Work

So, I said I'd never blog about work. Well, as of June 30 I will no longer have a job. One company I am assigned to work for has decided to terminate their Joint Sales Agreement (JSA) with CompanyB. Honestly, I am not too shocked. Company A fired a bunch of corporate staffers in late Janurary and the day that they did that I updated my resume and put it on Monster and HotJobs and etc.
I am sad about my job in the sense that I will miss having a steady salary and health insurance, and I really like the people at my workplace (not the job itself), but I feel oddly free at the same time. I had been having some problems with my boss. Nice guy, but not really willing to let me broaden my horizons. I have been a go-to person by people in other departments only to have them be told NO by the boss. He doesn't like to share or something. Plus I've not been loving sales. I've discovered that I dislike dealing with local sales (not that I do the actual sales, but I have to deal with the fickle nature of them. Local merchants don't always grasp fundamentals of TV advertising, it can be frustrating.)
Company B's HR person said she'd do whatever she can to help us displaced employees.
Maybe I will move back to NY......

As stated, wishing you luck. This shit happens to everyone and usually more than once. Take it from me. It's the original reason I decided to write the book. Corporate America flat out sux. You'll find something bigger and better, OK?
