<p>Holy crap! While the company's financial performance was cited as the reason for my departure, they didn't have it nearly that bad. They were still able to provide me with a good severance package. <img src="http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/ucsycybersmiley/5.gif"></img> <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Todd Miller said:</cite></p>

<p>Jim, my husband was laid off from a job that he worked 22 years at one of our casinos in Atlantic City. Although it was definitely a transition, that was more then 2 years ago and we have learned to move on. You just have to take one day at a time and ride life's setbacks out!! I still feel like I take 1 step forward and 3 steps back, but I guess that's why they call it life. My husband was just laid off from a seasonal position and was told he can't collect any unemployment benefits…</p>

I still feel like I take 1 step forward and 3 steps back, but I guess that's why they call it life. My husband was just laid off from a seasonal position and was told he can't collect any unemployment benefits until November. They just shut all of our cell phones off for nonpayment. No pity party because he just found a new job today and starts Friday!!! So everything works out for a reason. Heck, I hated answering that darn cell phone anyway!! haaahaaa!! Living in a seasonal/tourist town has it's set backs for sure. He also had about an 1 1/2 hour commute each way which was killing us in gas, tolls and wear and tear on our brand new vehicle so.........stay strong Jim!!!</p> Jim....sorry to hear the news…tag:oozinggoo.ning.com,2014-10-08:1566398:Comment:5522082014-10-08T15:24:33.564ZCritterhttps://oozinggoo.ning.com/profile/Somhtam
Jim....sorry to hear the news. But I agree with your assessment....it will be better long term...as we discussed many times before you were wore out with that place and the commute. I have been in this same position on multiple occasions and came out the other end in an even better place once the smoke cleared.<br />
