Layoffs / Cut Hours

JE3146 · 01-14-2009, 05:16 PM

Got a phonecall from my mom the other night talking about her getting reduced hours.

Things are just beginning to trickle down the pipe. It's not looking too good but the bright side is you still have a job.

As for the free time......

For any of you wanting to help this wonderful BOTL out. Do yourselves a favor

And help keep him occupied too

My hours have been cut as well, definitely not a good time right now. Keep your head up, things have got to improve, I hope.

It is hitting everywhere. We have our 3rd layoff coming up with two last year. Keep your head up; provide value when you are there; and try not to sweat it too much.

In a way I created a "need" for me when they hired me. There was a product line they were struggling with and it has become my specialty. We make good money on it and no one in our branch does it but me

But the problem is not just that, its business as a whole. Thinks are slow and we depend on the construction industry.

Jordan at it again.

The plus side is I get an extra day in the garage to build every week so things should speed up

All is well bro, thanks for the offer.

Combined the wife and I do better than most.
Solid middle class with lots of credit card debt, 2 car payments and expensive hobbies like cigars

We have been discussing it for months in case it happened.
As long as its just reduced hours it may actually be a good thing for a while.

More time to perfect the "Chasidor"
