Not Again
Yes. Again. On Thurdsay morning, my entire department was all called into a conference room, where they informed us that we were going to be laid off. Customer Care as of May 1st will be closed at the Boston office's of PerkinElmer. Everyone in my department will be asked to find a new place to show up Monday through Friday by the end of May. This is actually the most notice I have ever been given in finding a new job, but the prospect of finding one is still a task that I am not looking forward to.
Tara and I have been discussing various career options as well as some other ideas to get the ball rolling, hopefully between some networking and research I can find a position that challenges me and is worthy of my efforts.
If anyone has any suggestions for possible organizations in the Boston area, or would like to chat about this, let me know.
Wish me luck.
