Damn. Did they give you a reason? My sister got laid off two weeks ago. They said they were not required to give a reason and were not going to. She has no idea why they did it.

So sorry to hear that Josh. A real bummer but I know you will overcome it. Just think of it as a paid vacation for a couple weeks and surely something will show up that you will want to reposition to. Company loyalty seems to be a thing of the past and now you very seldom see a company remain as loyal as they used to. Don't understand the reasoning behind it either. A good loyal employee used to be seen as a valuable asset, and for some reason that is no longer a fact. Prayers for you that this will be temporary and you will soon be employed again.
