Bob,
I know completely how you feel. Today happens to be my one-year =
anniversary of my layoff from Motorola. Had I chosen not to take the =
promotion, I would still be there, but that's neither here nor there. =
Getting laid off 3 weeks before 9/11 is murder on job prospects too. It =
took 3 months to find a crappy job that didn't even cover my bills, but =
supplemented my severance, until 3 months later when I landed a job =
OUTSIDE my then career field, which STILL pays less than I earned =
before.
The economy isn't recovering nearly as well as anyone would have hoped. =
Many of the guys I worked with in IT have also found jobs, but as with =
my situation, they all pay less. It's now an employer's market, and =
we're left with the scraps they want to offer.
Keep your chin up, and something will come along that is right in your =
field of expertise.
Brian
Team A.I.
I haven't lost my mind. It's backed up on disk somewhere.
