I got notice yesterday that our company was shutting down the design center I work at.  75 of the employees would be retained to go to another plant about 30 miles away and the rest of us (~120 people) are going to be let go in 3 weeks. 

It's not a huge deal, but it's the first job that I got out of college.

Anyone else have stories of being fired/laid off?

I used to work at a gas station fixing cars for years, then about 6 months ago lost my job due to closing. I still can't find a job I enjoy as much, so it's back to college for me.

I've had at least 50 jobs in my time. No joke. Most of them were lame jobs so I didn't really care but my last job I got fired from really pissed me off. It was my first real computer tech/telecom job. The company was small when I started there, maybe 300 employees total. Over the next 2 years, it grew to 1200 employees. I was tuely dedicated to the company. I worked 50-60 hours a week on a regular basis. I got employee of the month and was well liked by most everyone there. Then I got my third manager and he turned out to be this cocky little prick that really got under my skin. He treated me like I was the new guy when I was the seniorest one out of us. Anytime there was a shit job to do, I was the one that had to do it. Cleaning up the set up room, washing keyboards, etc. Needless to say he could tell I thought he was a cocksucker so on my review day, (even though he was only my manager for two months out of the year) he somehow got to write my review. It was so far from the truth of what I had done throughout the year that it just completely made me snap. I wanted to rip his fucking head off but I didn't. Anywyas, I got fired that afternoon fr not having a "better attitude".

I saw that cocksmacker at a bar about a week later. I paid my tab, ordered a pitcher of ice-water and dumped it right over his fucking head. My buddy filmed it but it was dark so you couldn't see it too well but you could hear it I set the empty pitcher down in front him and stood there waiting for him to get up or do something so I could smash his face in but he just sat there looking at his wet suit and phone and paperwork. It was truely gratifying and I highly recomend this to anyone out there whos had a similar experience.
Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it

Never had a job to begin with so I don't have any 'lost my job' stories, though I wish I did.

Wish you had a job, or wish you've lost a job? Losing a job is something you never want to happen.
