Got into work today first thing that happened got called into the bosses office and well I just got laid off. This really sucks now I need to try to find a new job in December that should be fun.

damn Larry ... That is so awful to hear  
 
The assholes could have at least waited until after the new year ... I hope you gave them one of these  
 
I wish you the best of luck finding a new job bro ...
 
If you need to vent or just talk shit about your boss were here for you or you can PM me any time too of course (as you should already know my friend   )
 
Take care man

Sorry to hear that, Larry.

Getting laid off anytime has to suck, but around the holidays??? Wow. Heartless fuckers.  

All the best and best of luck finding new employment man.

cheers

Larry, that's awful. The company definitely doesn't have any class, if they layoff just before christmas. 
All the best in finding a new job. What kind of work did you do?

Thanks guys it does really suck I am a auto mechanic. And thanks James I know I can vent to you all here if need be it just sucks I think it was planned that way concidering I was just nearing time to get full benefits gotta wonder.

Larry, im so sorry to hear the bad news mate, I cant believe they would be so mean as to lay you off just before Christmas, what total arseholes!!!!! I hope you wished em a merry fucking christmas!!!! I hope you and Crystal are ok? Take care mate, we're here for you bro.

Larry, gutted for you mate, that's shit man
Wish you all the best in finding a new job, take care mate.

Larry, sorry to hear this man, your ex-boss must be a complete to$$er!

Don't let it spoil your Christmas celebrations, and fingers crossed you don't know whats round the corner.

Sorry to hear that Larry,
hope things work out for you quicklly.
Send your old boss a Xmas present.
Scoop up some fresh dog shit from your backyard,
place it in a nice box and wrap it with xmas paper,
place a nice bow on the present and deliver it to his office door,
with a merry Xmas card from you and your family.

Bad news, Larry    Sorry to hear that. Really hope you can find something else soon mate.

What total & utter smeg heads, they could have waited like the other guys have said, hope this does not screw you for Christmas & all the best tracking a new job down, should be easy as the world is always crying out for good mechanics, after all there are enough bad ones out there  

Sorry to hear buddy, its always a real tough thing getting laid off.

Mate roll with the punches, keep your chin up, dont let it play with your confidence or mind, good things happen to good people, maybe have an extended break till january, the right job will come around.
Do you have income protection insurance? if not just grab a labouring job or any fill in job until the right new job comes up.
Just keep your chin up mate, this happens to all of us, things will work out sweet, dont lose the faith.
cheers

I'm really sorry to hear this news Larry. I hope everything works out for you!

All the best getting sorted out soon Larry.

That sucks, Larry.

Hope you find a new job soon.

And your bosss.....Karma will come.

Thanks all love the comments made me laugh got lots of crap here if needed maybe my cat can release his but gland in a sealed bag if neded lol but seriously I am not one to hold a grudge it takes to much energy. I am sure I will find something pretty fast or win the lottery lol.

Losing your job can be the best thing to ever happen to you. You now have a load of time on your hands to decide what your future may hold.

 
 

Well finally got some good news I got a call out of the blue on Friday from a guy who I use to work with about 10 years ago. It turns out he was looking for a new mechanic for his shop he was talking with a former work mate who told him I was looking I just found out this morning I am the new Head technition for his shop. which is a given as I am the only mechanic there lol but like he said when it picks up we can hire a junior guy.

I am so happy I got the job as this being unemployed was really going to put a hamper on my collecting .

Congratulations chief! Great start to the New Year   

Thats fantastic news Larry, congratulations mate     what a great start to the new year
