So everyone is all "Happy Halloween!"
This is normally my favorite holiday. Instead I got laid off today. I am honestly heartbroken and don't know who to share this with. I am not sad about money (I'm still in college and am really lucky that my mom helps me out) I'm heartbroken over the second family I'm leaving.
Here are some pictures to show what an amazing group of people I worked with.
Halloween 2014
Usually Halloween is a huge production at our company. This year it was scaled back and we did it on Wednesday. We didn't do a group costume instead we choose to dress up individually. (I am the Sim sitting down in the pink sweater)
Some quotes from our crazy hardworking summer
Christmas 2013
This was our "Awkward Family" photo shoot. This hopefully shows how fun we really are. There was never a day that went by that we didn't laugh. Even when we were working from 8am to 11pm during our busy season.
Halloween 2013
We were "Seedy Las Vegas". We had the Runaway bride, lounge singer, lost tourist, and so on. Yes, we did win Best Group Costume.
We were there for each other through the fun...
Everyone will make you laugh until you cry & back you up when mean Sales reps are picking on you. You never felt alone.
& the hard times in our lives.
When my father was in the hospital they rallied around me and sent me encouraging messages. I will never be able to tell them how much those meant to me.
We had a Cheeto Bar day for one of our coworkers who was leaving. I never thought there were so many different types of Cheetos.
"Cat Tax"
Thank you for those who read all of this. I just needed to share how much my coworkers mean to me and how much I will miss them. I know this will get downvoted into oblivion but still for those of you who read it thank you.
For everyone else
TL;DR I got laid off on my favorite Holiday, I didn't lose a job, I lost a family.
Here is my obligated "Cat Tax" except I don't have a cat so my Schnoodle, Delilah, will have to do.

I left a job with a crew like yours 10 years ago. I went to one of their weddings last week and we picked up right where we left off. 1/2

2/2 You won't keep up with all of them, but the good ones will stick. Chin up, OP

I'm sorry about your layoff, OP. Life lesson: Don't get so attached to people you work with. After a few more layoffs, you won't. :(

Thank you. I'm sorry this was downvoted. Although I don't think I will ever be able to not get attached.

Well, I hope you find another job soon! Anyway, you're young and work is still fun, so enjoy!
