I got laid off in April and just now found a job. I was in engineering in the Baltimore area. Damn lucky as my severance just ran out also. It will work out for you I am sure. If you are in my field let me know and I will help out any way I can.

Sorry to hear about this. I was a summer hire (almost intern like deal) and they just told me they are cutting me short like 3 weeks because of budget. Atleast they gave you a heads up so you can start looking for something else right away.

It was more of a voluntary lay off because I pretty much had it. My boss has been undermining me for the last 3 months and i just found out monday she was looking for a way to fire me, so I approached the VP asked to be transferred and he said no so i said then let me go. He told me next Friday which doesnt make sense but whatever. I'm thinking it will happen later today.
I am a warehouse manager but I've done production supervising for the last 5 years in the same company.

been laid off from 2 jobs in the past 3 years. both times i upgraded ($) and i have a great job now. good luck and it sounds like it may have been a good thing, nothing like hating your job
and being in a place that has no room for advancement.
