Chip just got laid off.

We are so screwed.

Looks like I'm going back to work next week if my boss will let me, but we can't live on my income and health insurance is going to be a potential issue.

oh christ, i'm sorry.

Oh, holy shit.

Send me a resume -- our hiring has practically flatlined, but I think he'd work out well here if we start hiring again.

-Yeeg. Wish I could help. A thousand good wishes for you.

Fuck. Boy, do I know how you feel. *HUGS* -H...

My company is hiring QA folks. I'll email you under separate cover.

[sweetmmeblue.livejournal.com]

oh sweetie, I'm sorry. Let's hope that he gets work soon.

Oh shit. I'm sorry. In the last day or two someone posted a QA job to the ftp-alumni list. Did Chip see it?

[candle-light.livejournal.com]

Also, if there is anything we can do to help, *please* let us know.

[skreeky]

Well, shit.
You WILL count on your friends for anything you need. It's the benefit of this whole weird tribal thing.
*hugs*

Bloody hell. :( I hope he finds something new quickly. *hugs*

That all kinds of sucks. *hugs* going your way and good new job vibes for Chip.

Damn. Let me know if I can be of service; far away for now, but will be much closer soon. *hugs*

[mattlistener.livejournal.com]

Wow, sucks!!!

I just sent Chip some job leads. Talk soon...

[roozle.livejournal.com]

Let me see if I can find out anything helpful.

[mamajoan.livejournal.com]

Yikes. I'm sorry.

My company is hiring QA too. Feel free to send me his resume if you like.

He should check out the EMC jobs - it'd be a hella commute either to Nashua or Marlboro but the pay is good. If he sees something he likes he should email wexelblat_alan at emc dot com with the position number and a resume.

Oh, jeez! Was he working long enough to get unemployment? I'm so sorry.

[quietann.livejournal.com]

waaaahhhhh! *hugs*

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

ack!!

[r-ness.livejournal.com]

Crap.

*hugs*

ok... I am so not buying a place now.

[cthulhia]

the ratio of new homeowner to recently laid off is... deeply disturbing.

I hope the various listed leads turn up something promptly.

[persis.livejournal.com]

so sorry to hear this. *hugs*

[nacht_musik]

yeek. Hugs to you both.

[dolphin127.livejournal.com]

That really sucks. I'll keep my eyes and hears open.

I wonder if Partners has a techy-place for Chip? I know that Spaulding has tech support around the hospital...

Oh, shit! Unfortunately, the only possibly-appropriate job I know of is a senior web admin position in Ottawa. I'm guessing y'all don't want to move countries, but if you do, it's in luckytroll's journal.

[bikergeek.livejournal.com]

Shit. I'm so sorry.
