I apologize up front if this post sounds like I'm being a baby, or whining, or whatever, but please hear me out:
I have worked at a shop for just over a year now. The shop itself has been in operation for over 5 years. She shop was doing great, although the economy has slowed things down a bit. As I'm trying to get some sleep (because I open at 6am the next day as I always do) my phone rings. It's my boss telling me that the shop is closed and will be relocating 4 states away. WTF? I had no clue whatsoever and neither did any of the other employees. He tells me I'm more than welcome to come work for him at the new store. "Oh yeah, let me just drop everything else I have and come work for a deceitful little bastard and be just fine with it." So today I got my last check. The shop was completely empty and I had nothing but bitter words in my mouth and panicked thoughts in my head.
So now I'm hitting up every cafe in town looking for a job. has anybody ever gone through something similar?
