Title: All Good Things Must Come To An End...
Post by: Saijinn Maas on April 01, 2011, 12:32:10 PM
Guess it was was bound to happen sooner or later.

I went from being busy all the time due to work, to now getting laid off. Our company laid off 205 employees and closed 3 studios.

I've immediately started looking for something else, even though their severance package was pretty good, I don't what to sit on my ass thinking "everything is okay".

I'll have to get back into recording some stuff as soon as I am things are a bit less uncertain.

Hope everyone is doing well ;)

Sorry for your bad news, Sai. I wish you success in finding a great new job. Keep looking forward, not back.

Thanks all! Though they gave me a pretty good severance package, I am already looking for something. Got a couple of good leads actually. So we'll see how things pan out. :)

Sorry to hear the bad news, but 64 is right, the coming of change is never
fun, but how else do we progress into something better?
Best of luck to you in your job hunting....

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with your job hunting, but at the same time, take some time to think your next move. Time is an asset if you use it well, and sometimes these bad situations take us to better ones. Think well!

Been through it myself. I know how uncertainty and worry can be killers to creativity. Hang in there, Sai. I speak from personal experience when I say that things often work out better than expected. You will bounce back stronger and happier. For sure.

Thanks guys ;)

I've got a couple of things that are looking good, but I don't want to jinx 'em by saying any more. Hopefully will have more soon. ;)

Hey Sai,

Sorry to hear...I haven`t been around much either lately. For once i was busy. It`s been a hard first few months for me too. Although there are so many others in this same boat and i`m just grateful to have a roof and food.

 I hope it`ll all come together for you soon!
