I got laid off from my job. Permanent Lay off. Sucks. Me and about 50 other People.

Depressed.

On a side not, my bank [CIBC] gave me back the $2000 that was stolen from me.

It was a job in the autombile industry. Well, I will go on un-employment insurance for 9 months and I can live off that and once that finishes, I have enough money saved that I can live off that for another 12 months.

When are you going to get another job then? It isn't wise to live off your savings.

I think he will be looking for another job the whole time, but he has money for an emergency.

I will be looking for another job while I am living off unemployment but I will be focusing on studying. If I don't have a job in 9 months (a decent one), then I will really start to look very hard for one.

I know for a fact that the money he has saved is saved for a specific purpose; this not being it.

Laid off implies that is was systemic, ie it was part of the economy or a re-organization or something. Fired implies that you, and only you got fired and it was because of something you did (or didn't do, more likely).

Yea, hard times for the auto industry. But the US big three have been making terrible terrible business decisions lately.

You can still work your shit off right now, and by the time StarCraft II comes out, you'll be rich as fuck and can retire and PLay it for the rest of your life :D?

YES?!

I figure laid off is more due to company being unable to support so many employees or are overstaffed or whatever.

Getting fired is when you (the employee) fucks up.
It felt like gravity.

That's about the best definition that I could give.
