Sacked

Well go back a few months and you'll see a now useless blog post referencing my perfect job.
I was laid off yesterday with no notice, not severance and not even enough respect from the owner to have the stones to tell me himself. Our company had been fighting for some capital to make up for some really poorly timed large scale expenses (2 new retail store buildings and a new warehouse facility to name a few). The owner (who I reported directly to) kept painting a rosy picture of funding that was essentially in place.
Turns out he was dead wrong and had to lay off nearly all of the employees. So instead of coming to our office and telling myself and the web programmer himself (both of us were recruited and reported only to the owner) he sent 2 of the other company managers to do it.
So now left with no job and only my accrued vacation pay as financial padding, I'm off to dust off my resume, call a few networking contacts and set to finding a suitable replacement job and some freelance work to make sure I can continue to pay my mortgage.
