Nothing worse that Orientations. This one is the "Company Provided" transition assistance program. They consider it part of the severance package. Honestly it is not the main thing people care about when being told that there 9+ years of services are no longer avaialble.

I remember meeting with the rep from the transition company and all I got out of that is a blah blah blah session because I was reeling from the shock of being let go.

I am a bit skeptical about these consultancy services, but hey, the resources they provide on their website, which by the way you don't have access to until you attend the orientation have leads to jobs that you won't necessarily find on Monster or CareerBuilder.

I am posting this primarily due to the fact that according to the intro, "Today begins the 6 months of services" have to track that stuff. If there are any tips I can gather anything from this that may help others I will let you know. :) Caring is sharing.
