Where to go from here?
Well shit.
My employer has been in really dire straits for a few months now (not to mention moderately dire straits for the last two years,) and the axe finally fell today. They declared bankruptcy, and couldn't find a buyer for our studio as a business unit, so we're officially shut down. We don't expect to get paid for the time since our last paycheck--we've been locked out of the building since last Tuesday anyway for failure to pay rent. Severance packages are not exactly looking likely. I've never been laid off before. I was, to be truthful, in denial these last several months, hoping the company would pull through despite massive evidence to the contrary, because I seriously don't know how to handle this prospect. I can't even sit still for two days over a weekend, how am I supposed to sit at home all day? One can only job search for so many hours at a time. Anyway, they're holding a meeting next week to explain unemployment benefits to everyone, and let us get all our personal items out. Anyone know of any sound designer positions in the Austin area? |
