So I got laid off from one of my jobs on Friday. Once again, the timing is awful because I have to move out and be able to afford an apartment. Now I only have half an income from my other part time job.

I don't know yet if I will be eligible for partial unemployment benefits. I can submit my claim at the end of this week. Without unemployment, being able to afford a place will be very tough. I could just make it perhaps, but funds would be extremely tight with no room for savings or extras. It would be pretty miserable without the unemployment checks.

UGH! Could the timing have been worse??? This is my second time being laid off from a job in life. This does present a bit of a monkey wrench in my life. I am stressed.

On the other hand, I feel some amount of relief? They were not treating me well, nor were they listening to my guidance and expertise. They wanted to do things as they saw fit. I wonder if that's why I was let go? Because my strategies did not coincide with their vision?

My boss from this company ran one of her companies into the ground by pursuing a tactic I had strongly advised against. I warned her that she would ruin her business. And that's exactly what happened. Now they're doing something similar (against my guidance) with another company.

Fine. Listen to others' bad advice and run both companies into the ground for all I care. They're extremely arrogant. The new marketing director follows in my old boss's footsteps... not listening to expert guidance and input. They didn't like what I had to say, so I was let go. UGH.
