Work layoff pt2
We were told earlier this year that there was going to be a layoff this month due to the closing of our Phosphors department. This was supposed to effect 70 hourly employees and 30 salaried employees. I went and got my seniority number and I was 90. Well when it came time to hand out walking papers, a coworker of mine got his and he was only a few people down from me. Then on Wednesday they decided that 12 more people were getting laid off and I received my papers. On top of the fact that I am really confused how this is possible, a ton of people have quit or been fired since the original announcement. For every person that left, the layoff number should have gone down one and maybe that is what happened. They never changed that number, in which case a bunch of us should be safe. But either way this layoff is currently slated to go back almost 10 years and I just don't get it.
Not that I really fear that I am going out the door, at least for any large amount of time, but I feel bad for the people that really depend on that job that thought they might have a career in the future. Although that can be said for all of us as I don't know if the plant is going to make it. It is like they are intentionally sabotaging us.
