Just lost my job :(

[PMKeates]

Grow up


Sorry to hear that dude
Hopefully it will be a blessing in disguise and something bigger and better will come along

wait till you get made redundant then someone can say owned to you. That's if you EVER work.

you pleb, the guy has just lost his job

Must admit this is a pretty ***** thing to say.

Unlucky OP. You can never be fully "prepared" for things like this but hopefully (as others have said) something bigger and better will come along.

Best of luck

Why are so many people so quick to be offended on other people's behalf? It was a funny comment. The guy has lost his job, not had has family burnt to a cinder in a house fire.

So turns out Eurocom was in the #%#%'s and have just made 150 of us redundant. Nice of them to leave it til the end of the month...


Gah!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear, there's never a right time for this but at this point in the year it's a double kick in the nards.

Owned.

You need a kick in the nards.

 

[Snax]

Horrible time of year for that to happen


You will move on to better things though.

Sad news chap

When I worked for the NHS I was told a week before Christmas too that they no longer could afford contractors in that department, it was a sour time indeed!

 

[physichull]

Totally rubbish timing that, this time of year n'all.

It may seem bad right now, but it's not the end of the world. Search for something now as you want to be ahead of the 149 others that are also out of a job.

Indeed, I'm not sure what I would do if my employer went under...

Time to enrol at your local AFCO

And this is why the games industry sucks. Their people management is just terrible.

Sorry to hear this. I know how you're feeling mate, I got made redundant from my last place in September and still struggling to find new work

Keep your chin up and just do the best you can to find a new job.

I'm in exactly the same boat OP. Good luck.

 

[floatindolphin]

Cheers all . I was in a similar situation 10 years ago. Not too bad as I didn't have a wedding half paid for and a 2 year old daughter....complicated!?

 

[Arsonist]

Wow this sucks dude, bad time of year as well. I know if I lost my job now I would be totally screwed. But as people have said, chin up, get applying now, and plough full steam into something bigger and better. All the best in finding something new, and fast.

What happens if you work for your neighbour?

 

[floatindolphin]

Your showreel is cool hope you land a job soon OP. Sucks that this means theres another bunch of people with industry experience looking for jobs just shoving me out of the way

You've seen my reel? How?

 

[Vita]

Best of luck getting back into work!

 

[Skillmister]

You've seen my reel? How?

Searched you on linkedin.

 

[floatindolphin]

Ah ha!

Any comments or feedback? Or job offers?

 

[Skillmister]

I'm trying to get my first gig so can't really help you there

Heard about it today know someone on the fourm worked for them, kind of hoped you had missed the bullet

Pity I loved Goldeneye and Dead space extraction, 2 excellent games.
