Weathering the storm…
November 1, 2008
With the U.S. economy at an all-time low, many businesses, no matter which industry are resorting to things like laying off workers just to stay afloat.
Our company in that matter have been doing some “retrenching” for the past few weeks as well; which was one of the things that’s been making me lose sleep these past few days. I knew that it was just a matter of time before this company’s frantic effort would rear it’s (ugly) head in my department.
And it did not disappoint.
We lost alot of ppl this Friday and some of them were good co-workers of mine. I didn’t knew the entire scope until Friday night from a friend. Learning that my name was still on the schedule list seems to have lifted this heavy load off my shoulders.
The realities of living in a Corporate world… it made me worry to the point that it almost convinced me to go back to the Military service all of a sudden…
…we’ll see what tommorrow brings then.
