    Really sorry to hear that. Don't let it keep you down, just jump back in and you'll find something new and better before you know it. BTW, what kind of degree do you have?

    Man, this sucks...I hate to hear it when one loses a job because corporate america is greedy....

    The same thing happened to my cousin here in Michigan several years ago...he was on commission...and made boo-koo money...they got rid of all the commish people that made over 20k in a year...the rest that didnt go over that mark, got to stay and were then paid hourly...ever since then Circuit City has sucked in my eyes..
    But, it was a blessing, now he has his own business and is making even more loot.

    Here's hoping the same happens for you....
