On the firing line
So, I get up this morning, take a shower, shave, etc. and head off to my 9 - 5 job. I get there at around 8:30am CST, grabbed some coffee and a Dr.Pepper from the vending machine and head to my desk. I sit down, put my glasses on and fire up the computer, punch in my password and...fuck it says my account's been disabled. WTF!

Turns out I got the workplace equivalent of the ban hammer. Their phrase for it is "Re org".

I'm trying to remain positive about the situation, but it really just sucks. Anyhow, I could go on, but I'm trying not to bitch too much about it. I like to think that this is God's way of saying: "Fuck work, you can do it on your own". Okay, so God probably doesn't swear, but I like to think that's what He's saying to me.

Enough religion, back to work for me.

If anyone is in need of some SEO work, hit me up. I need some freelance stuff to squeek by until my affiliate stuff can take over full time.

Thanks!

That is a very fucked up thing to do. And companies wonder why people go postal.

I feel for you dude, best of luck.
 
Dang that sucks Mike. but thank God for affiliate marketing! good luck man.
 
Everything that happens in life happens for a reason. I've been the same boat as you, sucks when you're there, but eventually something great will happen out of it and you'll realize that everything truly does happen for a reason.
 
Thanks guys! I really needed that pick-me-up. Well, I'm off to whore my SEO skills out and work on affiliate stuff. Thanks again!
 
that blows man - if you get cut are you going to get a severence package? It would be nice to have like 3 months of pay while you get to work on more programs...

i would take this as a sign - personally i would love to get downsized from my job so i could build up my other business with a 3 month paid leave (then again I dont' have a family to support...). Regardless take this as even more motivation to build up your aff programs!

good luck!
 
think of it this way, you now have more time to use ur seo skills to its max.

yes, things do happen for a reason, its just up to you to turn your tradgedy into triumph. <-- not my line, from a kanye west song.. LOL.

:)
 
If your affil stuff doesn't pick up (ie: blockbuster stops producing), I think you'd be a good Harley salesman!!!
 
You'll be fine mike, keep an upbeat attitude about it. This could be a blessing in disguise or just a misunderstanding.
pm your email address and i'll email you some details about a guy who is needing some seo work done.
 
Hey Mike thats about the worse feeling in the world. I got shit canned last year, which is how I got into the AM side of the web. Its been a tough road, get use to eating Raimen noodles, and drinking Ol milwaukee, he he he

One year later, working 10 to 15 hours a day and things are starting to look better. You have a family which makes it alot harder the pressure for you to provide is there.

Like someone else mentioned, stay posative, look at it as a blessing in disguise!

they just locked the PC huh? no phone call?

i like their style. lol.

(sucks man)
 
But you didn't say you were "fired" you just said they locked your system.. I mean are you officially let go or did they lock you out as a means to say "get your ass in my office so I can chew you out".

Either way I sent you a PM...

P.S. Unemployment is the bomb. It's why I intend to try and get fired instead of quitting when my time is up this year.
 
Hit me up on AIM Mike.. we are always hiring SEO's for our projects. Let's work something out.
