Yesterday, my two bosses let me know that myself
and another long-serving employee of Destiny had been
gobbled up by the revenue beast. Neither of us were
sales people and thus were said to be 'not generating
revenue' (I suppose supporting sales wasn't enough).
I also suppose our long-serving salaries also had
to be cut to save the bottom line.
Looking to the New World
Far from being bitter about this, I'd like to think
that I've been spared in the past four years from a
lot of the pavement pounding that has been experienced
by my friends and associates in the industry. Now starts
a new world where I can explore other things that I've
wanted to do and with some severance and benefits I
may be able to pursue. As you can see above, I am open
to design contracts. If you know anything, please let
me know.
My action plan for getting on my pants
As for my immediate moves, first I am seeing about my
severance, next I am applying for EI. Applying for Employment
Insurance (which was changed from the previous 'Unemployment
Insurance') is now more civilized with
an
online form. Kelvin drily observed that this means
I don't have to put on my pants to get benefits. After
this I will update my resume and start scanning for
jobs. Another option is to look at schools but unfortunately
school has just started and unless I can plead my case
I doubt I can get in any at this point. Finally, it
was pointed out to me that I already have most of the
equipment to video weddings.
