Like I said...

things happen for a reason. And more about why its a great thing I am no longer working at my previous job came out yesterday. In the past 4 days I met with the two people that weren't able to make my shower. And both of them were furniture sales reps that I assisted and was very close with. One just recently quit A-Z and I think the other is not far behind.

Without going into detail (since too much would have to be said and it still wouldn't be understood). Basically the power that be have continued to lie to everyone in my former department. My boss has also been demoted (which I knew) and he had to sign another non compete, and he signed it (STUPID).

so, that office is extremely stressful and if they would have cut my pay and let me stay. I don't think they would have ever laid me off (or it would have been much much later) and I would not have only been pregnant but would've had to deal with all that stress. And getting up in the morning would have been miserable. Working would've been miserable. The days would've been never ending. So, slow it would probably only be March, instead of May. I wouldn't have gotten the better insurance, I would've probably ended up quiting. Which means I wouldn't be on unemployment. And I wouldn't have had maternity leave.

And I hear that the reputation is definitely being affected.

So, I will say it again just as I did right before my boss told me of my laid off. "Everything happens for a reason, I will be fine"

I am sure there will be more in the future to show me even more how good it is to have been laid off.
