Layoffs

[Becks]

Blas, I hope things work out for you. (And I agree with the others, start looking for another job!!!!!!!)

My new rate of pay isn't princely, ($15 an hour).

That's a princely sum to ME.

You're right, at least there's a warning. The temps didn't get a warning. They found out at 8 am yesterday morning that they were finished as of today at 7 am. Those that work weekends? Too bad, you're gone. I mean, as a temp, it's to be expected, but to have it just hit you like a brick in the face like that...so random...that's such bullshit.

Yup, it sucks. Happened to me two weeks before Christmas *sigh* On the plus side, my ex-husband makes about twice what I was making BEFORE the layoff, so he managed to float my rent and give me a bit of money to at least put some little dollar-store toys in the kids' stockings at my house.
