Just got laid off for the first time…

[Black Dean]

Felt blind sided but have been thinking of getting out of the construction management game awhile…so it’s a push. Drinking heavily though now I have an extended weekend.

Sorry to hear that brotha. Hope you're able to get back on your feet. Maybe it's a good thing and you'll do something else that makes you happy.

Sucks, dude. Have a few dozen tonight, and look for another opportunity, there are plenty out there

I skimmed your headline and didn’t see the off part in the sentence the first time.

BD...sucks but sounds amicable, hope you get something sooner than expected. For now, drink to oblivion!!

He’s still waiting to get laid for the first time. Idk which is worse.

Sorry man. At least no need to dread the AM hangover.

I think getting laid for the first time would be worse. The positive thing is I see a lot of construction companies hiring field supers and pms.

Sorry to hear. I'm sure you'll land on your feet

Lots of opportunity out there for quality Black Deans.

When one door closes another opens. Learned that about 8 years ago when the same thing happened to me.

It's ok to get shit faced. I slept until 9am the next morning and felt like hell the whole next day when I returned to my office to box everything up. I'm so much better off now, that I'm glad it happened. Maybe not at first, but now it's bliss compared the the bullshit I put up with for years.

The same will happen for you.

 

[Alcaus]

That sucks man. Hope your next gig is the one you’ve always wanted.

 

[pigsonthewing]

i betcha Dean is lookin for another diversity hire, but the question is can HOL handle 2 Deans?

all kidding aside, same thing has happened to me before. sucks short term but like others said if you attack it like an opportunity you'll come out on top.

 

[HuskerGarrett]

Sorry to hear that man! PCL construction laid me off during COVID too. You’ll find something better

 

[MtnHusker]

Sorry to hear that, really sucks. Had it happen a few times when companies fell on hard times. Nothing wrong with tying one on and sleeping it off tomorrow. Maybe go get yourself some dirty leg tomorrow night. The good part is there is a labor shortage all over the country so their should be some job openings out there. Shoot for the stars, go after your dream job.

 

[LoudHogRider]

Sheeeit. The only time I was let go in my career I was the company President. No shit. New investors. It was a rough day, but as others ITT have noted, another (better) door opened and I never looked back. C'est la vie.
