Damn...

Damn Darin! Sorry to hear about the job, bud. So with your severance, you have 9 weeks to find a job. Any chance Iron Mountain is hiring? That would be quick and easy, eh?

Good idea, I do have a non compete for like 4 years...and they don't have any openings.

You might check into that non-compete. Most states won't uphold that if you are layed-off or are downsized. That is usually only there to protect the company from having you find another job while you are gainfully employed by them. I know that is the way it works in Kansas and Missouri.

It has happened to me, in November 5 years ago. Fortunately things have worked out, but I didn't do what was suggested and hit the ground running, so my one recommendation would be to get going quickly on a replacement postition. Good luck!

Noncompete contracts are almost always unenforceable. Apply where you like; you're a man, not a slave.

It's alright Golfanatic, I'm gearing up to be laid off in January. Be glad you are fortunate enough to have a few weeks in severance...I'm only getting 2, and I have a CAREER. Such is life. It's nasty at times, but you'll be okay there fella.


Pull up your bootstraps and cowboy up, life works out in funny ways. :thumbs:

Keep your head up Golf... You'll be fine. Already having your applications out is a good thing.
Best of luck brother and hope to see a happy post soon.

Sorry to bump this back up, but I have some great news! I have had one offer already, been on 4 interviews, and am having a pretty much guaranteed job interview with my same company next week in a different department.

Thanks for all you support, but I have some serious decisions ahead of me. Severance? Less/More money? New Company?

I'm know I will be fine, plus I am that tight guy that saves 6 months worth of mortgage away even though I'm 27.

I did check on this and you guys are both correct. It does not apply to me being laid off. Thanks for the heads up.
