On Friday, May 15, at 10:05 AM PDT, my supervisor informed me that my services as Level III CFA Curriculum Manager at Stalla were no longer required.

What's ironic is that I have gotten excellent reviews from students (and the Director of International Business Development & Instructional Management) on my teaching of the CFA Curriculum. I may well do considerably more teaching for Becker/Stalla in the future. Who knows?

At least it was easy to apply for unemployment on the internet. Now I have to see if President Obama will pay my mortgage.

On the job thing, or on the mortgage thing?

Could lower future demand for CFA licensing due to the financial collapse be a reason for your layoff? I have heard college admissions into undergraduate finance programs have taken a steep drop.

Sorry to hear, good luck in your search. With your credentials I am sure you will find something quickly.

Best wishes. And I hope you find work soon. Especially since California needs your tax withholdings.

Did you go around correcting his grammar all the time??

Seriously, best wishes finding something quick.
