File for unemployment immediately, can take several weeks to process.

Work through any separation benefits you can access if you haven’t already, any job placement options?

Start tapping your LinkedIn connections, a few a day or just your closest contacts. Or go all in!

Allow yourself some space and grace to disconnect a bit. It’s not about you or your work, just business and it’s happened to MANY of us at some point.

Best of luck to you, you’ll land somewhere even better perhaps.

Also prefer CTA over metra since my company has later night events. Thank you!!

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her.

I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.

Anyone know of a good building for a 1bed/1bath. Need to have parking & a/c. Nice to haves is in-unit laundry, any include utilities, any amenities. Trying to keep it on the cheaper end with a max rent of 1,500, but given our line of work I can bump that up if the place is nice enough to justify the cost. Thanks in advance!
