Laid off

Drazzil · 02-23-2009, 10:52 AM

I was laid off from my job where I worked a little more then a year as a parts salesman. The company is in a bad way due to the industry, and the owners general incompetence. I was never really good at it, mostly because the supervisor/manager really declined to give me any training, or any meaningful work to do.

The fact that the company is sinking is cold comfort I suppose. The end result is that my butt is still out of a job/incomeless.
