Now wait a minute....didn't Bush say that the economy is doing well and we all are paying less taxes, the world being a safer and more pleasant place in which to live  with every human loving and helping one another...?

Yer not unemployed Srinath...you are temporarily displaced and this situation could open up entire new possibilities and opportunitties in the near future.  In the mean time i hope you find a better job real quick.  But if ya have a chance can you create a pro Kerry emoticon..??

Emoticon ... dammit I cant even vote... and oh yea I cant have a gun either. So I guess I am screwed.
Cool.

Ouch!    That sucks, man, I'm sorry.  Best of success in finding something better...

With all the stuff you do for the motorcycling community? Couldn't you make that a job? Working out of your house, claiming part of your house tax free. You're a competent m/c mechanic, you could do side jobs.

I hope for the best for you.

Damn that's rotten news. Sorry dude.  Do you have enough contacts to do some consulting? - tech not moto....

Sorry to hear it pal. What exactly did you do? Any job prospects?

Will your club be having meetings?  Some of us may need to know the time and place ... just in case.  :x

Sorry to hear that.  I'm curious about how creative the announcement was....

I do Unix and actuate support right now, but have done Siebel dev and support, Db development and support, lots of application integration, testing, deployment, management... hard core old school IT... none of the new fangled J2ee or .net crap much of that's in INdia anyway now, and no mac. Unix and NT... 12+ years.
Cool.
Srinath.

Sorry to hear that dude! Maybe we can each buy a couple of srinath bars...
BTW are you on a work visa?

me too.  There is some hope, as the service industy is doing better than some.  Many manufacturing companies like mine are struggling.

You never know, it might end up a good thing when you score a better gig.  Good luck

 

I was laid off two weeks ago and I am about to go crazy with the honey do list. Go find a job quick!

Sorry to hear that, Srinath. Here's to you finding a job that is better than the one you had  

Laura

Visa... damn that would be rough... but luckily... nope... and better than one I had... Its a tall order... massive perks when you work for one of the continent's largest employers... like selling bikes wihtout an ad... Our grape vine is so huge its bigger than all the vine regions in france and italy combined... and believe it or not... there is divisions that are hiring... talk about left hand not knowing right hand... and the bank is like a millipede... like 10000 hands...
Cool.

Oh well you dont have to do that... (anyway I am down to the last 3 or 4) and well I want 1 for the 95, so 2 left... I might make the 04 types sooner now that I have the extra time ... and I may do case savers as well, down to last 1 or 2... and other projects... new passion is exhaust flanges... which BTW is a really short time frame for y'all to take advantage of... not because of me... but dennis krook is selling them all cheap... $50 for a stainless well made new can... Buy a can, and a flange and bolt on... 20 mins with a dremel tool... easy.
Cool.
Srinath.

Same boat as you.......

Sorry to hear that,

Divisions downsizing whilst others are recruiting sounds strangely familiar, left hand - right hand, the bigger they are the worse it gets.

Good luck with jobseeking, until you find something there's always test matches when you are not in "bike" mode.

turns out my brother got laid off day before yesterday. His company got bought out a an australian company, they laid off all the US programmers and kept the US sales ppl. So he is job hunting now. Says he should have one by the end of the week.. we will see. In anycase he should go on a vacation by himself, he hasnt been on one in ages.. after all what else is the layoff money good for eh?

Damn ... B of A bought Fleet, and some politicians claimed that that was eliminating jobs in the North east... so B of A decided to add the South to that list...
The other thing...

I haven't yet felt out the market for my niche of IT... How is your brother confident ? ... is the market good ? ... from past experience, This time of year is a lousy time to be looking for a job ... and it gets worse through jan 1st week.
Cool.
Srinath.
