I know several of you guys have sent me messages asking if I still have my job. Unfortunately I was part of the "restructure" and was one of many that were displaced. It's always disappointing to leave a job that you truly love. And even though it had nothing to do with my performance my feelings are hurt and I am sad, mad and about 1000 other emotions!
Luckily they have a package they offered us that gives me a little "security" for a while. It's a lot to process right now in the midst of everything else going on with infertility. I am so glad we got both of our IVF cycles in last year as I had fertility insurance which is super rare and I was extremely fortunate to have. I just pray I can find an even better job that I love as much as I did my previous one.
I am looking forward to a bit of down time and regrouping. I really need it right now. I got up this am and went to Pure Barre and am going to enjoy lunch with a good friend who is in town.
If anyone has any medical sales recruiter info, I would love any information!
I know God doesn't give you more than you can handle, but I am getting pretty close!
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers
Love-
lauren
Sorry to hear this news. It's always heartbreaking when on top of infertility life starts throwing other crap at us. Hope things turn around for you soon!
ReplyDeleteUgh lauren!! I am so sorry to hear this....hopefully something better is coming along for you!
ReplyDeleteUgh, Lauren, I'm so sorry. My heart just swells for you. Please know I'm thinking about you tons and sending lots of hopes for seeing beautiful your way.
ReplyDeleteI remember a time when people said , "God won't give you what you can't handle", and to be honest they still say it to me!
ReplyDeleteI feel like He does give me more thank I can handle, don't you? I feel He does and it causes you to be so baffled you have no where to turn but to Him....well at least thats how it goes in my life. I miss you friend, come see us soon!
I'm so sorry you are going through this. I was laid off from the company I had been with for 11 years back in 2009 (also not performance related). I was really bitter about it; I had derived much of my confidence over the years through my career so I was a bit shattered. I have since gone back to the same company but I don't think I'll ever feel the same about my work. It's now much more just a job rather than a career.
ReplyDeleteBe good to yourself.
Praying for an even better new job for you!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, and thought these verses may give you some comfort:
ReplyDeleteIsaiah 40:31
"They that wait upon the Lord
will renew their strength.
They shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run and not grow weary,
they shall walk and not faint.
Teach me Lord, teach me Lord to wait."
"But those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint."
So sorry to hear about your job. I have been laid off twice. It's not easy, but it is survivable. And sometimes it give you some down time to regroup. Not only have I been laid off a few times, but I have witnessed it more times than I wish. And it's amazing how much more relaxed, and even younger, people look after they have been let go. You have time to take care of yourself, and are removed from the stress of job insecurity.
ReplyDeleteStill praying for you. Just wanted you to know.
