I got laid off from my original job on Wednesday. (The place with D2.) I kinda saw it coming. They were a little too conspicuous about having me train a junior person on what I was doing. When they broke the news to me, I immediately thought of all of the things that the junior person wouldn't be able to do or even figure out how to do on his own and how much of a bind they would truly be in on certain things.
Today, TWO DAYS after my last day, I get a text from them asking me if I can call the junior person to tell him how to do something. ARE YOU rough ridin' KIDDING ME!?!? I knew I didn't want to help (and, really, it would have taken a lot more than a phone call). So, I signed and downloaded the severance agreement and then replied that if they decide they need help with the sorts of solutions that I'd been delivering, I might be open to working on a contract basis. Stay tuned for that, I guess.
Fortunately for me, I've been dual jobbing again for the past six months. Man, let me tell you something. The security of NGAF if you lose a job is like nothing else.
