I hope your company hooked you up with a good severance package! Also, jump on that unemployment while you can and enjoy it. It's like a paid vacation, especially if you get max benefits from UI. You have paid taxes for the shit all these years, so now it's your turn to get a break and enjoy that money!

Unemployment is lagging like a motherfucker i filed 1 month to the day and havent received any benefits. I got the phone interview 2 weeks ago and I was supposed to get a check or a denial letter within 10 days but havent received shit.

My trade got hit hard, all the lower level apprentices all got laid off. It ended up being around a 15% downsize of our LA branch and even though we're union, the companies have to hire the unemployed by their years in the trade. So if you just got in, you're fucked. Times are tough for the construction trades.

yeah man, the owner of the company decided to get rid of 7 of us and it's only him, 3 of his brothers and son working now...

I got a call today from a job out of state..can't take it tho..

 

[Anaheim*Rob]

You're in a construction field too?

 

[DFresh77]

You're in a construction field too?

yeah....i work for a private contractor tho...no big company..

we went from having 6-7 jobs a month to 1-2 jobs a month..to 1 job a month...big jobs tho...

 

[Anaheim*Rob]

Yeah, shit's fucked up throughout the construction fields. Small company or big, shit don't matter. I work for a major worldwide company, (ThyssenKrupp Elevator) and we lost alot of big jobs, especially new construction. Alot of buildings that were approved to go up have either been suspended or outright canceled. It's fucked up.

 

[DFresh77]

yeah man..i know a lot of private contractors that are working other jobs instead of their regular shit...

one of my boys went back to work with the city of fairfield..n he was doing good in the construction field as a private contractor..

 

[Meta4iCAL]

I will be gettin laid off... not sure when... I keep hearing different time periods... today I overheard someone saying my department should be around till the end of may...

i just paid off all my debt... now im gonna start stackin as much as i can... file for unemployment if necesary... it's whatever... Im not stressin right now...

ups is always hiring

I work at UPS and they just laid off 5 drivers where Im at. Basically it just bumps them down to doing pre-loading instead but theres new people at the very bottom that are at risk of losing their job.
