I may be hearing the same thing in the next month. 3+ years at a hell hole of a job, and they don't even want to work with me so that I can work while I'm in school. Shouldn't surprise me since they only kept me last year because they didn't have anyone to work Saturday, and most of the management barely graduated high school (if that...). Wal-Mart sucks

Their idea of school (true story):
A friend of mine was unable to make a "mandatory" meeting because it conflicted with one of his finals. He went to the store manager (high school dropout) and asked to be excused from attending. The manager said "Well that depends, is your job important to you?"

My wife recently lost her long time job, on her birthday. I'll tell you what I told her: Your young, your tough and your strong you'll be fine.... then I went outside to cry as the income fell 10 grand a year!! Hope she does'nt read this. On a serious note I'm sorry for your loss and hope you find something even better.

I changed jobs and industries earlier this year...by choice though. Worked in executive recruitment for 4 years following college and I just felt unfulfilled as an Account Executive with MRI. Left to go into the Student Travel industry and haven't looked back. Make about 1/2 what I used to, but I'm ten times happier at the end of the day!!!

Good luck!

my partner quit his decent paying job (without consulting me) to go back to school almost two years ago. he's much happier in his new field, but it's been very rough financially. thankfully, he graduates in 3 weeks and will be working full time again. i celebrated by buying a new car this week!

Yep! All 50 of us at my old studio were laid off at once. We had all worked 7 days a week, 12-16 hours a day for two months straight to finish the damned game and they said, 'thanks - you're all fired!'

Landed on my feet, though, and got another job right off. I wish you the same luck, man.

Where do you work now, Pockets?

Edit: Checked your profile, Volition....

On a side note I'll be Chicago for about a month in september working offsite QA at High Voltage.

Unfortunately, the svx stays in California.

I've wanted to break into video game developer for awhile now, but am languishing in QA.

I used to have a job, but then I said bye, I thought I was nice and gave my boss 6 months notice, but 4 months later he cut me down to about $200 of work a week, I thought $200 a day was bad, that's why I was quitting. I even told him that I could work a couple days a week for possibly up to 8 months if he couldn't find a replacement for me. He is now 4-6 weeks behind in work and I wont work 'cus he droped the ball... And I'm much happier, iven if it did mean that I can't buy a house anymore
