Another trucking line bought our company but had been telling us we had nothing to worry about and boom! Came in today and 21 of us are laid off. No one knows how long or if it’s permanent or what. Wtf

OP please don't go postal, it's not worth it. Dear Diary. OP is a f@gg0t. (Ded fkn Srs)

who'd you get bought out by?

Schneider? Saia? Those prick bastards.

Sorry to hear that, brah.

Do you have a rainy day fund? How long can you go without employment?

bIdEnS aMeRiCa!!!!

Call a jewish lawyer and get some money or your job back

I actually had 2 jobs and the other one is about to be peak so I’ll be ok. Might not be long but not sure if I should start applying or what

I've heard that line before. Rat bastards

Trucking line? What do you do?

how do you stay in shape when your driving all over the country at odd hours and eating chit food

My client’s wife got laid off from a $175k per year job she had been at for 10 years this week. Things are getting a bit hairy in the employment markets. This combined with 8% interest rates makes this an interesting time.

I got fired too. Such is life in clown world.

Good luck op

Bidens recession. There's a lot of openings though since cucks are still lazy from the high af unemployment money gl man

Sorry to hear that OP. Were you a trucker? Or an office-cel? If trucker, I have to believe you can find another job instantly.

Joe Biden's America.

Damn brah sorry to hear. My work has been slower this year but we're short staffed by an unbelievable margin so now I'm just a total slave. Almost 12 hour day today and that will be most days for me here on out. I'll take the overtime and giant bonus though. Fedex literally raised all packages $3...per package. So now we have to switch shipping companies because fuk them.

What truck line bought you? Chit is getting weird this winter season. All these places getting audited by USPS for the plastic pallets lmao. We can't even get any more of them. Prices are though the roof on everything.

Boyos this ain't good.

More companies are going to be axing people

When you think it is safe, it isn't.

Everyone is replaceable.

These future months are going to be brutal.

That sucks man hope you recover, and get a better job srs. Will pray for you brother.

Sucks op. Probably a lot of trucking jobs out there if you have a clean driving record.


Don’t apply to twitter. All those mf got laid off too. They’re probably fooked.

Right. An experienced driver he will have no problem finding another job but might lose some perks of having seniority.

LOL @ Twitter employees. Most of them had jobs where they weren't really skilled at anything and were overpaid for menial work. That really isn't needed.

Last recession I learned that companies keep and take care of the good one's. The one's that have hard to find skills and are an asset for the company and they discard those who aren't. I was more or less intermediate at the time. I wasn't unskilled or bad, but I wasn't highly skilled and really all that great. I found that at the intermediate level there is a lot of competition. When the economy got better I made a game plan to get really good at what I do. In this time I watched a vast majority change jobs, change titles/departments, different manufacturers, ect. They went to where the money was, although it was never that much. I put up with a lot of crap I shouldn't have so that now I get away with a lot of crap I shouldn't get away with. Not trying to be an egotistical dik, but not that many people can do what I do.

Do you go looking for a job or do the jobs come looking for you?
Do you send your resume to an employer first, or do they ask you for your resume?
In job interviews, is it you convincing them to hire you, or is it them trying to convince you to work for them?
Do you fill out a job application before you get hired, or after you get hired as a formality?
Your answers should be the latter of those questions. If not, work on that.

good go on vacation

That sucks man our company was bought by a new company in May and they have done nothing but layoffs since. Hope you find something better

I got laid off of September 23, got a $20000 raise on new job starting next week. Good things can come from this keep your head up

Aren't we in the middle of a shortage of truckers? If that is even true, it shouldn't be hard for you to get on somewhere else

Don't get depressed OP

Start applying elsewhere right away, something is bound to come up. Good Luck, we all been there ..... you gonna make it

What happened?

Surely this isn’t a surprise

I actually only work the dock and they kept putting off the cdl school. It pays almost the same to work the dock though. A dude at old dominion told nr they aren’t working there either until after the election. I wasn’t aware of any election

Man that’s rough. How are you set up financially to weather this storm until you find new work? Do you foresee any small to major changes you will need to make now that you are jobless?

They told everyone their job was safe then turned around and laid people off. That's lame and shady as fuk. They did the same thing to me. Going out of their way to mislead people just creates a ****ty work environment. It'll come back to bite them in the ass later on; my last employer almost all the people I stay in contact with ended up leaving the company first chance they got. I'm sure the same would happen at your former workplace, op.

but it sounds like you got things squared away financially, which is good
