- About 5 months ago, we moved to Atlanta, GA and as an independent consultant, I gave up ALL INCOME up north. I found a position locally with a firm, seemed to be going perm. Started May 9 but on July 23 was sent packing when a hedge fund purchased...
- In March of 2014 we moved to Georgia and by May 9 I started a contract position that had every indication of going perm. Training was being offered, and my manager was talking the right way .... until Thursday when an OUT OF THE BLUE event...
- To give one and all here some hope. Up in NYState I was a self-employed consultant-contractor with computers and had a nice, albeit smaller than I would have liked, income but it was there. My wife, retired, decided in January that moving to near...
- As an independent computer consultant, I have been self-employed, read that stress unemployed, making it on my own, for about 4 years. We are now moving out of NY State down to Georgia to be closer to family, get rid of freaking high taxes and cold...
- I joined here because of the past few weeks, related to job stress, I have enjoyed an occasional evening drink with my wife or by myself and increasingly my ability to not get into fights was getting out of hand. Last night was bad and I realized I...

- Our step-daughter just called from the Coral Cables facility, insurance is not covering her extended stay, so my wife is depressed, blaming everything under the sun including me. Total destruction of family and wealth is now a possibility. I have...
- I just love waiting for a 9am phone interview that I carefully setup and verified and now it is 9:30 am and NOBODY has called, nothing like the world robbing you of what little self-respect we all have left. Isn't this just the nicest thing???
- As an independent consultant, I rely upon my clients for income and this January has been and is being HORRIBLE. EVERYBODY is slow in sending checks and I have resorted to blatantly DEMANDING checks for the January 1st period now, something I do...
