Gettin' laid

[darkshark]

Off.

Entire animation department was cut, so I'm out of the job =(
Got a severance package, and pto accrual payments which came out to a little under $10k, also getting unemployment benefits and crap, but god dammit, job hunting sucks.

Pretty bummed about it and thought it was an excellent idea to post about it on FFR derp.

Why not do what this thread is titled?

[cixOclock]

Back to Dominos

Over qualified? ;)

[Reincarnate]

I thought you were looking to jump ship anyway?

also wtf would they lay off the entire department? Not using animations/renders anymore?

[mnnicol]

Why not do what this thread is titled?

This.

[Patricoo]

Tip to you kids in college: Don't graduate. Ride that until you die.

[Niala]

Well that sucks DS, shitty deal. Here's hoping for you to get a new job soon :)

[Emithith]

lol teach college.
Insta free ride.
Until you get laid off.
Wait.
What was the point of that?

Anyway, that blows.
More animations on your "animation playground" perhaps? :D

[Zageron]

That is extremely lame. :[

[DotKritic]

Got a severance package...What'd you get in it? Getting help finding a new job?

[darkshark]

It happened yesterday morning, so last night I got drunk off my ass and did what this thread is titled.

They cut the entire animation department because they're discontinuing the DVD packages with the products. Economy sucks etc.

Not ****ing going back to Dominos if my life depended on it.

I was indeed already hunting around for a new job, so my resume and portfolio are pretty damn up to date except for 2 or 3 things.

Severance package was just money and they let me keep my medical and dental for 3 more months which is pretty sweet. They're totally cool with putting in good words for references and everything too, so hopefully I'll find a new job decently soon.

BUT.

I'm going to Kauai and Maui in September, so I'm taking a ****ing vacation until my vacation, bitches. I'm still going to pull like $2800 a month from unemployment.

I'm still going to pull like $2800 a month from unemployment.

WTF, I wish I was on unemployment...

[darkshark]

Unemployment amount is dependent on how much you make in the first place. They give you roughly half. So if you're working at KFC making 7.25 an hour, I can assure you you won't be getting $2800 a month.

[Poison-]

You made around $5600 a month? That's pretty good. Does anyone else on FFR make more?

[leonid]

Reincarnate earns shit tons

[who_cares973]

probably rubix

[Crashfan3]

That sucks to hear DS. I myself have been trying to find a job for about 3 months now and it seriously sucks.

Good luck and good hunting.

[darkshark]

Rubix probably earns at least close to that, we both live in the highest cost of living areas in the country.

I still make around $500-$3000 a month from freelancing as well. Last year I made about $95,000(untaxed) from work and side jobs combined.

[DotKritic]

You made around $5600 a month? That's pretty good. Does anyone else on FFR make more?Even if I took the job at Target 3 years ago making $12.50/hour working 40 hours/week, I'd still only round out at $2,500/month before fees/taxes.

If I were given the usual raise percentage (4%) per year, I would be making $14.06 now. Still working 40 hours/week, I'd still only round out at $2,812/month before fees/taxes.

[Mans0n]

People bragging about their monthly/annual income on an internet forum what has this world come to

[leonid]

imo it's better than bragging about how accurately you can hit arrows

[leonid]

also I'm not seeing any brags in this thread

[awein999]

Hey guys I can hit arrows pretty perfectly. Get owned.

[kommisar]

get a unionized job and you'll be all set mate

[GG_Guru]

I got laid off from Chipotle's last Friday and I was wondering if I am still going to be paid for the days I worked until then?

Also, does the IRS send your taxes back? They took huge chunks from each and every one of my paycheck nearing over 200 dollars each. I asked one of my friends and he said that they don't and that they keep it, but my other friend said that I could file a tax return next year. I am so confused. :(

[nois-or-e]

That sucks shayne, hope everything works out for the best mate <3

Also, here unemployment pays stupidly. They basically offer a flat rate of $400~/fn, but whatever you got when you lose your job/laid off, they take into account. So in the great land of oz, if you had the same thing happen, the government wouldn't give you a cent for a long damn time.

[darkshark]

Guru, you will be paid for the days you worked. You can file your taxes next year and get some of the money back, not all of it, but it's usually a good chunk of change.

[Aldentron]

looks like u'll b ridin a bike HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR

[darkshark]

Can you just stop breathing please.

[Thatskier]

You set your-self up....................

YOKED.

[darkshark]

Sweet. Rant over.

Requesting lock.
