I am hoping that through all the experiences I have had that I can share some of it and if not, than at least provide some amazing entertainment( no guarantees). I do promise to always share my opinions and feelings! Live, Laugh, Love, My favorite phrase and I strive everyday, in every situation to remember it!

Sad day in my life today


As you know I left my job at Prosper about a month ago and went to another coaching company Thrive. Well today I was completely blind sided when I was told I was being laid off. My afternoon and evening have been filled with stress and tears. I was laid off because the company was overstaffed. The manager made a comment during the meeting that he was "concerned" that I might not be reliable since I have cancer. I was mad and cried because this stupid cancer has taken one more thing away from me. I loved my job and hate to go.
I am angry that I was laid off because of the cancer. He said there were other factors in this layoff and I was not the only one, but the comment about me being sick put me over the edge. Last I knew it was ILLEGAL to discriminate based on that fact. I have been a stellar employee according to him. Even though this is not my fault I feel like it is. My husband is stressed out we are in bad shape. Also I have had Laryngitis since last Monday and still went to work EVERY DAY! GRRRRR....... so frustrating. Anyway I need to get back to the job hunting. Say a prayer for me please. Let me know if you know of any job openings. Call me 801-921-0166, email me: derinharvey@gmail.com, or leave me a comment. I can use all the help, support, encouragement, and good vibes that I can get!

  2. That is terrible that he threw in the comment about you being sick. There is no way that could legally be a concern for them. I am so sorry that you had to be blind sided especially when things were going so good (new house and all) and now you have to stress about making ends meet! Stress is so bad for anyone's health let alone your fragile health. I hope you can find something soon. Take this time off as an opportunity to do things you have wanted to do, read books you want to read, and visit your friends. I pray things will start to look up for you!
