So, as I feared, the worst has happened. I got laid off on Friday. Guaranty Bank decided to do some serious downsizing and about half of the IT staff got das boot, as in shipped out, put out to sea...blah blah blah...I know this was going somewhere.
Anyway, I have now joined the millions of unemployed workers in the good ole US of A! I never can seem to last more than two years at a company without something major happening, either a spin off, major reorg, or layoff. I guess it's the nature of the business when working in IT. I thought I was in my own little bubble being in Austin, considering we seem to have avoided the housing nightmare that has affected the rest of the country, and the city is very tech heavy with some major players. But, working for a bank there was no guarantee (pardon the pun) that my job would be spared.
