Gettin' laid

**darkshark** · 07-19-2011, 09:11 PM

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.

I thought you were looking to jump ship anyway?

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

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

Niala · 07-19-2011, 09:42 PM

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

Emithith · 07-19-2011, 09:42 PM

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?

**Zageron** · 07-19-2011, 10:19 PM

That is extremely lame. :[

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.

WTF, I wish I was on unemployment...

**darkshark** · 07-19-2011, 10:53 PM

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-** · 07-19-2011, 11:02 PM

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

leonid · 07-19-2011, 11:06 PM

Reincarnate earns shit tons

who_cares973 · 07-19-2011, 11:06 PM

probably rubix

Crashfan3 · 07-19-2011, 11:13 PM

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** · 07-19-2011, 11:27 PM

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.
