Riffed, downsized, circumsized, rightsized, restructured, etc. Call it whatever you want. It's a bad way to be these days.
Just got notice my company is moving on and doing so without me. What a s*##@ time of year to be without a job. We were the victim of a highly publicized acquisition and the victims are all falling by the wayside from the company that was acquired. Tough on the old ego after you spent so much time closing business ($90MM in 6 months) and giving up your personal life to travel all over the country to support the demands of the business.
Well so much for crying. It's making my cigar wet. It's going to put a cramp on my bidding and buying habits, but I will have plenty of time to smoke what's in the humi.
Anyone out there in the same boat these days? How's the job market? Anyone hiring strong sales talent?
What would you vote to smoke on such notice? My best choices are Ashton, ISOM Cohiba, Hemingway Short Story, HdM Ex 1066. Sorry no X's or Garycliffe's in there anywhere.
Cheers
