[95alty]

Dude at this time pride is something you shouldnt have. And hey we are hiring in the marine corps. All branches are actually... Suck it up and get some time in the suck and you will be able to make those payments

[02SloWrx]

Do you think you will get maximum unemployment? I beleive its 350+20 from obama. So around 370 every week can't pay your bills?

[quickdodge®]

So, found out today that my dealership is calling it quits, and shutting the doors for good on Friday. I can't believe all the time, money in tools, schooling, ect is about to be flushed down the drain, thanks to Government Motors. Now, my bills are going to be late even with unemployment my bills won't get paid, Having to stand in line at the unemployment office next moday or whenever I have to go, is going to suck. Every place I have looked is not hiring for what I do, and I will not flip burgers. On the upside, when I do get my unemployment, I can take a little break, step back and figure things out. It really sucks and is unfair, went into work this morning is a very very good mood, and then at right before lunch got told the news. So, in a way I am asking for thoughts and prayers.

I never would have thought things would come out this way. I am twenty-two years old, and have been with a dealership since I was 16. Other than detailing cars, working on them is all I know. Time to re-up on some skills, and survive. Fuck General Motors, and fuck this god damned government.

That is all......

I remember you telling me this at the Athens Meet, man. I regret reading this sad news. You'll find something so don't sweat.

Like a 40 year old virgin's dick on its first trip to the Playboy mansion....keep your head up. Later, QD.

[gtikid]

Your 22 bro, you got plenty of time to do many many things. Don't settle and bum out just b/c you've had the same job since you were 16. You're supposed to progress in life, and not settle. Good luck to whatever comes your way dude

[EM1toEVO]

Sorry to hear about that happening, Rusty. I will keep my ears open for any leads.

[DeeAOne]

man that has to suck. makes you kinda think twice about going into the automotive field the way this economy is looking..

[Humphrizzle]

Thanks man, it's just the bitch called life. Things will get better.

Life's not a bitch. Life is a beautiful woman. You only call her a bitch cause she wont let you get that pussy.

[ilovemyhonda.]

Sorry to hear, keep your head up and stay focused, you can do it!

[§treet_§peed]

No, women are still bitches even when they let you get that pussy. Sorry to hear about this, it sucks I know. Both jobs I had in the last two years I ended up getting laid off from.

[Sammich]

I KNOW ABOUT IT MAN...AND THE UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS SUCK EVEN MORE...I DONT KNOW HOW IT IS DOWN THERE..BUT THEY BASE WHAT THEY GIVE YOU OFF OF WHAT YOU MAKE PRIOR TO YOUR BENEFITS AND TAXES COMING OUT OF THE CHECK...AND I'M THINKING TO MYSELF...HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSE TO SUPPORT A FAMILY OFF OF $800/MONTH...THATS FUKIN BULLSHIT. GOVERNMENT FTMFL.

ON A FLIP SIDE, IF UR LIKE ME, U'D GO BACK TO SCHOOL AND TRY TO TOP ON WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW. I'M PLANNING TO GO BACK FOR CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT IN THE SPRING, IF THE WIFE WILL HURRY THE F UP AND GET THE TAX PAPERS FROM HER MOMS HOUSE...FUKIN RETARDED

[Double_0_Rusty]

U GONA NEED TO CUT OUT UNNECESSARY STUFF MAN..I HAD TO LEARN...QUICK

that's the thing....

truck, house, credit cards, medical bills, insurance, cell phone, misc other bills. I rarely go out anymore, and I don't go splurgin' on things not needed. my bills at 22 equal about 2000-2450 a month...

[Sammich]

SOUNDS RETARDED...BUT MEDICAL BILLS AND CC WOULD PROBABLY BE TEH LAST TWO BILLS I WORRY ABOUT PAYING. I HAD TO PRIORITIZE MY BILLS...RENT, ELECTRICITY, CAR, PHONE, CREDIT CARD.

Silver Lining: Now is the time to pursue things you've had on your brain. Going back to school or networking for a career/work that you have interest in learning are two things that come to mind.

Relax, think, and take action.

I do not feel sorry for you, rather I congratulate you on your freedom, chance, and ability to change things for the better.

[Slomaro Z28]

It's not just the auto. field. They have been laying off at my job for a while now (Power), or sending people to Texas, etc. And they don't tell ya until you are getting ready to leave work that day, people will hurt themselves on purpose to keep the $$ coming in.

But good luck finding something else.

I will not flip burgers. .

WHY??

You seem like an older person with some sort of maturity level. There is nothing wrong with filpping burgers. When you're older you dont have to worry about impressing anyone and you don't have to care how other see you in your job. I am a highly trained high voltage electrician with class A CDLs. I delivery pizzas for a living right now. Just because people are not hiring in my field of experience. I do it to pay the bills and make sure my son has diapers. I'm not sure what your reasons are for not wanting to flip burgers, but remember that money is money, No matter how you make it. Leave your pride at the door when they shut the doors Friday, and you'll be able to find a job better/faster. Plus you'll enjoy life that much more. Try viewing life as I do. It could be worse, you could be dead. So, enjoy life, no matter if you're flipping burgers or shoveling horse shit.

Holy hell, how many times have I stated it's not a pride issue. Jesus people read. I don't see the point of doing that if I am going to be making the same amount if not more, at home on unemployment until I find a new job. Def not a PRIDE ISSUE. I have a couple of things in the works right now, so I probably won't even need unemployment.

Some people are dumb. He flips burgers I'm sure, hint the continuous stupidity. I read your first response why you wouldn't.

Dunno man, but it get repetitive sayin

"It makes no sense to flip burgers, and get paid the same or less, than I will on unemployment." No offense to anyone that does this job.

[green91]

Was this an athens area dealer?

[Double_0_Rusty]

Green, no. It was located in Madison, GA. Phil Cook Motor Company.

[green91]

OH dang man well I still feel bad for ya. I work in an auto dealer too so all the dealer closings hit close to home for me.

[Double_0_Rusty]

Ditto. Now, I see how Bill Heard employees and all other closing dealership employees feel. It sucks hardcore. Alot of memories....

[keevo54]

it took every inch of me not to knock the owner out today. I gritted my teeth, and shook his hand. Ive been there awhile now, and knowing all the time I put in busting my ass is not going to pay off.

Lol. Think about how much it sucked for the owner shutting the doors. Im sure he lost a shit load by shutting down. Prolly just cutting his losses

unemployment office in athens is brand new. walk in hop on a computer and next week obama will mail a check to ya

[amandDA]

best of luck to you.
