KWR: Bad news from job 3 months before wedding

Sylphier, on March 7, 2017 at 8:54 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 31

So yesterday I had come down with a really bad cold and took a sick day from work - when I came in this morning I had an email from my manager about a meeting I had missed and that he would call me early to update me on what I had missed. So time comes for the call and I'm told that my office is dropping my entire team. We're here contracted from another company, and that company has dropped the contract. At the end of this month, my job is gone. I had already been shopping around for work because this job is stressful, but it's how I'm paying for my wedding so I wasn't going to leave until I had something new! Now I have no choice and only 3 months left until the wedding. As if wedding planning stress wasn't bad enough...

    Thanks for all the sympathy and well wishes, everyone! It was quite the shock for me first thing this morning. I'm reaching out to a couple places I had applied before, and hoping one of those works out. FH pays all our household bills while I foot the wedding costs so this is really scary, I'm just trying not to worry too much yet. I have a little under a month before I'm out of this place.

    Ohh man! I'm sorry that you have an extra heap of stress added to your plate! I'm a firm believer in the saying that when one door closes another opens because it has been incredibly true in my own life!! I have found myself clinging hard to something only to realize that there was already something so much better waiting around the corner! Good luck, I'm sending some good vibes/prayers/and lots of good juju! ETA missing letters

    Update LinkedIn, indeed, Craigslist, reach out to recruiters and networks within your current company. This exact thing happened to my FH and he had the same amount of time to get another job and found something much better than what he was doing... so keep your head up! It'll work out !

    @Greenebunny you would be correct, most things are paid for the wedding. The only things left are my caterer, two payments to my venue, and dress alterations really. Well and a handful of small stuff like family and wp gifts.

    @EmilyW I've already updated most of those since I was already looking to go elsewhere, thankfully. I'm really hoping something good shows up for me!

    @Stephanie&Chris that usually holds true for me too so I'm crossing my fingers for a door to open quickly.

    I know this doesn't always help, but I think everything happens for a reason! Take a few days to think about everything and don't through a pity party. Keep your head up!
