Wow Bud!This sucks like a Hoover. Maybe you could show what a great employee you are by stabbing your fellow employees in the back (just kidding). It burns my butt to know that some jerk is getting rich by ruining a good company, it's products, and screwing the people that made the company a success. Start looking for a new job and/or a promotion. I hope things workout in your favor.

Bill, terribly sorry to hear you were laid off.  Worst feeling on earth.  However, find the opportunity that comes with such an event.  People tend to get "comfortable" with their positions and forget that they are much more capable than they are currently being allowed to show.  Look for "new, different, better".  Prayers are with you.

Bud, I really hope things turn up for you.  That is not good news.  Sounds like Gordon Gecko type of philosophy in your company.  I agree that you should start looking for options, now.  Don't wait for the "sword" to fall. 

God's speed...

Severance packages and construction are not really synonymous. Thanks for the well wishes and my apologies for the hi-jack. But K-B is correct, just got to man-up and get out there again!

  APOLOGIES for a hi-jack?!  Around here?!   Roll on Floor Laughing
 
  I know what you mean about construction jobs.  The two brothers I used to work for are going to sell a bunch of their equipment and layoff down to a bare minimum.  Just nothing major out there and no prospects. Mostly privite road rebuilds and maintenance in the winter. 
 
  GOOD LUCK to ya,Bill.

Hi-jack??? I am probably one pf the worst offenders, LOL!  Actually your post put things in their proper perspective and made me feel better.  Not to be rude or callus but at least I still have a job with reasonable security for 6 months or more...
 
Hope you find work Soon Bill!

I spent a number of years in construction business... ironworker, carpenter's helper, bricklayer's helper, pipefitter's helper, heavy equipment operator.  I've been laid off more times than most people have been laid...
