I'm still in total shock. I worked in an advertising agency in Atlanta (Norcross) which is publicly owned/traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Canadian owners flew down to Atlanta yesterday for a budgeting meeting. Everyone already knew who was going to get cut but they added me to the list because they didn't want to pay my salary anymore (I'm guessing). They figured they could split my work amongst the remaining marketing department (which is 1 guy now). The CEO, CFO, and VP of Sales were made aware of this decision 15 minutes before they called me in. What a crappy way to go into the Christmas holidays. I just had my annual review by the board and I received perfect marks with a promotion to management in 2009. I'm dumbfounded by their decision.
My wife and I just came back from returning all our Christmas presents except for a couple things for our 4-month old daughter. With the economy the way it is it'll be tough to find a job around this time of year especially in Atlanta. And eBay sales have plummeted; I've seen auctions ending for prices that are ridiculously low.
I hope you guys have a great Christmas and be very thankful for everything you have. BTW, I never sent you guys a pic of my baby daughter. Meet Elia Li-Yah Shen!
