Message: <blockquote data-quote="HoLeChit" data-source="post: 2896225" data-attributes="member: 35036">like the title hints at, I was fired recently. End of last week to be exact. To make a long story short, I spoke with my foreman in confidence about a job offer I had recieved. A month later, I was fired, for a couple of BS reason, in my opinion at least. Small company, he went and told management after we spoke. I've been dealing with an overall "f you" attitude from management after I spoke with him about the opportunity. The HR manager takes things very personally, at least from what I have seen. Cutting to the chase, this sucks. I don't have a prospective start date at any of the places I have looked in to, and being a diesel mechanic, most of my opportunities I have found are in the oil field. I don't mind going back into the oil business, assuming I get adequate time off to live my life outside of work. What do/have you guys done when put in the situation? I've been out of work 4 days and am absolutely losing my mind, and have been pretty depressed about the whole ordeal. How do you keep your minds busy?I have no college education, and aside from turning wrenches, I really don't have any other trades or profession to fall back on. I want to go white collar eventually. Maybe this point in my life is a time to change directions career wise. But I have no clue where to go. Anyone have any advice?</blockquote>
