So it happened. Something I didn’t think would happen. Or maybe something I wouldnt let myself think would happen. All the warnings were there, but I didn’t think it would happen.
I got handed my notice.
Thats right. I am now unemployed.
I never thought I would be upset about loosing my job. But everytime I think about it, my eyes well up.
Yes, I know I am not alone in loosing my job, but its a gutting esperience when it happens.
Whats to blame for me loosing my job? The Government.
Why? Cause they have raised VAT (Something my employer absorbed and didn’t raise prices) and they have raised income tax. This means people are spending less.
The retail sector in this country is in a downward spiral. Shops, especially independents are tight for cash, with bills not being paid etc.
The Government need to see what its doing wrong as at the moment all it is doing is shutting down small business. We need to get Ireland back to work!

Sorry to hear that Stephen
Thanks Gamma
Really sorry to hear that. I have been down that road (pre-recession), I did end up doing something that I wanted to do though, albeit when forced into it by being chucked out of my job.
Thanks Red! Hopefully something will turn up.
Yera, look at it as a fresh start.
Just thinking about it there, and I realised that I’ve yet to hold a proper job (one I have paid tax on). So your already well ahead of me on those stakes.
Thanks Stephen!
I am sorry to hear this Stephen.
I hope that a new door will open soon.
the economic recession made a lot of workers jobless. my best friend and me lost our jobs because of job cuts. i hope that our economy would recover soon.
