Default RIF'ed

Well came back from vacation on Monday and found out I was RIF'ed. What a bummer. Our company sales are down about 50% from last year so deep cuts were not unexpected.
Most amazing part is I am not bitter as I am taking this as "nothing personal just business" to quote a famous line.
Got a decent seperation package that will keep us afloat for the very near future.

Just reaching out to see if anyone has a line on an executive position in Logistics or Distribution.

Thanks for listening.

Dan

Sorry to hear, Dan.

The economic picture in our little corner of the US is not too pretty either.

Many local businesses are struggling. Job security just isn't there.

Glad to hear you got a separation package. Hope you find something soon.

To paraphrase the signs held by those on the side of the road "Will relocate for money"
