Well that's not so good news. However it can be an opportunity, although it
probably doesn't seem that way just now. I can only echo what others have
written: your talents and abilities will see you through, hopefully before
too long and in our industry. At any rate you will always be appreciated by
this community so keep in touch for any support we can offer.

Subject: [TN] Received layoff notice

TechNetters,

Well, at about two months shy of fifteen years, I have received my layoff
notice from RIM -> Blackberry for the 27th of November.  What a ride!  I got
to work for a company that changed the world. They let me go to IPC APEX the
week BEFORE I joined the company (and paid for it), build a group of 50 of
the greatest people and buy new, state-of-the art equipment so we had a lab
comparable to the other two best electronics manufacturing industry labs in
Canada. I joined when we were selling a little pager sized e-mail device
that ran on an AA battery. It was so tough you could literally throw it at a
wall, pop the battery back in and it kept on ticking.  The ride up was
fantastic and the ride down has been as fast, although not nearly as much
fun.  Over the last four years I picked people and I walked them out the
door.  For sure the worst moments of my life in any job.  For a number of
reasons the company lost its leading edge advantage  and is now just a shell
of its former self.  I wish my remaining  compatriots there all the best, as
it morphs into. ??.

 

Anybody have a need for a slightly used chemist/lab administrator?  I am not
ready to hang up my spurs yet.

 

Regards,

Bev Christian
