Had the worst day ever..

Question

so not to mention i am in the middle of a taper, I think I am losing my job. Well i was told if my client count number up in the next two months, then i had to find another job. I have been there for 4 1/2 years. I have had a slump this past year due to a price increase. And now they are saying since i am no longer doing the number of clients I was they need the chair. WTF??  No help? No encouragement?? Just heres two months and see ya. I am so upset have been crying for hours. Have no idea how to handle this.

I promised myself I'd not post again on this forum, but you sounded like my past situation all over again.  I'm 21 days clean this morning - hang in their, it does get better.  

I nearly lost my job also ~ loose the pills and your mind will be free and you will become more creative in your endeavors at work.  

Hang in their - if I can do it...ANYBODY can.

It may not be much comfort, but many of us have lost our jobs.  While I would love to have my first job (20 years) back; I wouldn't trade the subsequent jobs, experiences, and friends.

Please...please...do not let a layoff get in the way of your getting off drugs.  Getting your life back is far more important.  

My father always said that we trade years of our lives, working, for money.  We never get the years back and the money disappears in time.  In his way, he was saying that our lives are always more important than any jobs.

I'm so sorry you are going through so much turmoil. I'm sure you're very good at your job. I know this is easier said than done, but don't worry about it until it happens. All it will do is add more stress and not change a thing.

I will keep you in my prayers,
LS

it sucks because I am a hairstylist and changing jobs is an awful thing to do. You generally lose 25-30% of your business. I have lost enough between this price increase and just people moving away and such. To start over with 7 years in the business is suicide, I wouldn't willfully do it to myself. Now I may have no choice. and my boss knows every owner in town so getting a new job would be difficult. I am losing it tonight, I wish i wasn't going through all this at the same time.
