October Success, December Failure

Well today I got let go from the job I picked up in October. No reason given other than "It was just not working out." Attempts to get more reasons than that were to no result. I have my suspicions though. Anyhow, back to the job market for me! Great timing too since I'll be off to Michigan in less than a week as well. Plenty of time for resume polishing!

Sorry to hear that. With your skills I'm sure you'll find something even better.

I'm sorry to hear that. You seem to have a good positive attitude though. This could also be an opportunity to expand your skill set as well

Sorry to hear as well.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of position was it and in what industry were you working?

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! I'm taking it as best as I can.

Senior network administrator working for the state government over here in sunny Phoenix, AZ.

Did you make any political campaign contributions since you were hired? Or is that just an Illinois thing?

Good luck with your search

You really shouldn't speak ill of our public officials.

@ both of you two

Sorry to hear about the rough luck buddy. Hopefully you'll find something else shortly.

cant believe it man! Good luck finding another gig!

blargoe

Sorry to hear bro. You'll find something else soon.

UnixGuy

Good luck man, you deserve the best

skrpune

sorry to hear that...but you do have a great attitude about it, and that's very important. It maybe that the state is just cutting back, like everyone else is, and the last hired are usually the first fired.

Good luck with the job search!!

That is too bad man. Good luck with the search!

If I were you and I was being fired, I would have asked to see my termination in writing as well as the reason. Don't let companies screw you over like that with dodgy reasons for fireing you

Were you a fulltime employee of the county or state? If so, I would SUE!!!
