I don't know if I will be laid off yet. They've been pondering this question for months, always telling us we will probably find out "next week." <br /><br />Since my husband lost his job a couple of weeks ago, this waiting game with my job is one I have to play. There aren't any other jobs out there. People I know who have already been laid off are forming their own solo businesses and hoping they can make enough to improve on unemployment benefits and pay their COBRA for 18 months. After that, who knows? <br /><br />It's a nightmare.Juliannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06035668022429107730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8340684.post-67492392054516349262009-08-25T18:08:09.415-04:002009-08-25T18:08:09.415-04:00WTF indeed.

Now if he walks through the door even 10 minutes late it royally pisses me off. Not with him but with his firm. IMHO he should get one day off per week but that won't happen. Hell, he's supposed to work 1/2 days on Friday (summer hours) but I think that's actually worked for him 3 times so far. Fuckers. I hate them. A new job can't come soon enough. The kicker is that even though you're definitely being taken advantage of you still have to be grateful because at least you have a goddamn job.tonkeluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17677023413938158629noreply@blogger.com
