Work news......
Yesterday at work Exacto laid off 25 people. Exacto is not a very big company and they're reputed as never laying off yet they laid off 25. They laid off people from across all shifts, and departments. Even office people were let go. I'm one of the lucky ones that got to keep her job however, I just got news from a 1st shift friend about more dreaded news. There was a mandatory meeting on 1st which will be repeated on 2nd that all workers hours are being reduced to 34hrs per week. Right now I'm still numb from last night and am now on autopilot but here are my nonemotional thoughts.......OMG! I'm moving, I have car issue that must be repaired, I don't have Steins to fall back on until sometime in March, in addition to car stuff I have normal bills to deal with. Will I be able to get by on 34hrs a week? When I get taxes done I normally get a decent refund but that won't pay for everything. I REALLY need to make a resume'.....not that it'll help much since there's a bazillion people looking for work. I could look for a 2nd job but then again......a bazillion people looking for work. I think that's all I got for now......running out of steam.
