As many of you know, I have been working as a beta test coordinator for a company called Centercode, Inc. for the past two years.  As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end.  Unfortunately,  my job was not immune from this English proverb and I was laid off last week.  I take comfort in knowing that I wasn’t the only one who lost their job that day but it’s never fun to leave a job that you love going to everyday.

A few days before I received the official word that the company was making cutbacks, my boss pulled me aside and explained the situation to me.  Basically, what it came down to is Centercode makes X amount of money per contract and has Y amount of expenses.  Because of the situation that we find our economy in, X was no longer enough to cover Y.  As pretty much everyone knows, unless you’re a politician, spending more money than you bring in isn’t a good way of doing business.  It’s basic math that, unfortunately, led to my termination.
