I just found out I'm being laid off... after I train my

Take your severance package (if you get one) and start looking for other jobs. Thankfully you're in I.T. and held a management position, you shouldn't have too much difficulty finding another job.

I was only IT Manager in TASKS, my official position was IT Specialist. My IT Manager had quit and I was just doing what needed to be done including roll-out of a new phone system/internet. :/ I'm still a clueless heap because I was supposed to be trained by them on their dime.

Why would they lay you off if they're going to replace you?

Probably because I actually am needed? I'm honestly baffled why they're even laying me off. Probably trying to be cheap. They screwed everyone out of bonuses last year and claimed it was for a new review/reward system. They've gone through 4 CEO's in 2 years.


I'm pissed because we just bought a house recently, My family's future is at stake.

That doesn't make sense though. If you were needed, then why fire and then replace you? Why go through all that trouble and risk an unjustified dismissal lawsuit?

Do a shit job at training your replacement. Them laying you off and having you train your replacement is a stupid move on their part. I'd definitely look into unemployment benefits because this sounds shady as fuck. Generally when you lay someone off you don't replace them with someone else.

Sounds like they are using the term layoff instead of firing you, probably because they don't have a good reason to fire you. Maybe your replacement will do the same work for cheaper and this is them trying to get around you getting unemployment benefits.

This company you work for sounds like it won't be around for much longer anyways.

Yeah I talked to one of the executives today. They apparently got some massive issues with costs that... i Warned them about when their safety standards dropped for the subcontracts they make. Full circle I guess.

:/

Honestly, I have no idea, nothing they do right now makes sense. 5 CEO's...

I told My old boss who put me in the IT position about it (hes at a competitor a few states away now). He has been sending me some local job leads which I'm going to look into tonight when I have some free time. (stupid resume retools take forever.)

Boo hoo im sad im so used to being a slave and now im free and dont know what to do whaaaaaaa

>laid off
collect unemployment while you look for a job that pays just as well.
