    sitting at work...

    People getting laid off. Not sure if I am one. Not sure if it's not better to be going than staying.

    Yeah I only have three framed pictures. Easy pack. My boss and her boss are out. They seem to think I am ok. Don't really know about staying regardless.

    Good luck either way, EP. Sucks to be in that position, both being in limbo and not sure about which is worse.

    Start looking my friend.....quietly. Like it was said above, not an easy position to be in.

    Double up in the bets today and watch all the games on your mobile in the bathroom....that should make you feel better.

    When you stop caring, its time to polish off the ole resume and look for bigger, if not better, things.

    Yer getting canned in the next month anyway... time to.start lifting office supplies. Toner and computer peripherals are light weight, expensi expensive enough to sell and should be the difference between a mid-NFL season reload AND eating this winter.

    I'm working hard on getting fired - calling CEO gay, making fun at ignorant uneducated Americans, rejecting meetings requests, blocking people on Skype if they dare to talk to me without formal email request, rarely visiting office, traveling everywhere, etc.

    They still don't fire me. I'm 13 years with the same company, though.

    Agree. You only get one chance at this life, and we aren't here for long. You are going to spend approximately 80,000 hours of your time on Earth on the job (I know, a lot less for SBR degenerates) -- last thing you should do is be there just to cash a paycheck. You're not giving yourself enough credit if you don't think you're capable of accomplishing more.

    If you don't like your job, always be looking for a better one.
    Doesn't mean you have to take a new job that you find, but it is good practice for if your job to turns to sh1t or if your company is starting to lay people off you don't have to be too worried.

    What is your role and experience. Broadcast industry is going thru major changes. Cable,broadband,the internet,smart phones,etc all fighting over content and the world is changing how consumers watch tv and programs. Need to change and adapt and think outside the box. Most people were taught to go to school,get a job and then retire with a pension,401k, etc.
    world is changing and everyone needs to take stock in their lives and wake up. Follow your passion and I'm certain there are opportunities out there for you. Just need to change your mindset and start thinking more like an entrepreneur and make things happen. Maybe you can replace Antibet lol

    Well I'm stuck through part of October. Getting married & definitely need the paycheck until then.yes unleash on the idea of getting married boys.

    Honestly it can't be much more of a Shit show than it has been for two months. Mergers rarely produce anything but that.

    Rocket gets it...EP I've been there, I was in school at the time and it was quite frustrating. Clowns ended up calling me back 3 months later, desperate to hire me back. They didn't realize the caliber employee they had. Years later, I dont answer to anyone really. I keep clients happy, but I choose who I deal with. It's the best feeling in the world if you enjoy what you are doing.

    Difference between you and Rocket is you don't lie 24/7. He got caught lying about his car and about having $100,000 in a Heritage account. Was flat out busted on both. Why anyone associates themselves with the cat piss smelling 4 star clown is beyond me.

    NCS may I ask what industry you work in?
