Is there a better way of stating the lay off subject ?

Should one avoid the topic altogether?

Who cares, just tell her you got laid off. We're in the worst recession since the Great Depression. It's not like you're the first person it's happened to. People shouldn't wrap up there personal worth and identity so much in what they do between the hours of 9-5. We're much more than that.

despite what most people believe, girls respond to your own reaction to your information rather than the information itself.

If you say you got laid off, as if you expect to be homeless soon, and it comes across in your answer, bad news.

Bitterness is the hugest buzzkill there is, so avoid trashing your old boss/company.

But if you say you got laid off, and you really believe that you will make some positive changes because of the situation, and convey that in your answer, good news.

It's all how you frame it.

So the question is, what are the ten best things about getting laid off? Figure these out, and you'll be ahead of the game. How positive are you that you will find something better? When you dig deep and remember all your strengths and resources, how do you see yourself five years from now?

When you see yourself with massive success in the future, how irrelevant does being laid of today become?

I've been laid off about 12 times. It's no big thing, but women do thing something is wrong with you if you tell them that you are between jobs.

Unless she is your wife or your live-in longterm G/f, she is not entitled to know .

Great post. Some of the great successes were laid off, fired etc. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. Maybe you will become an NBA star :) WHo knows, the world is your oyster!!!!!!!!!
