Layoffs!


Well my day job is laying me off! For years I have been very out spoken about how crummy this job is and how inept my supervisors are and now I'm completely PO'd that they downgraded me and didn't tell me and then layed me off. They offered me a position as a part time worker with less that 20 hours a week. No gurantee that job wouldn't have more hours cut or the position obolished. No benifits. Here's the thing. I don't mind being layed off in a bad economy, but be fair about it. Be upfront and honest, not back stabbing and minipulative. Just after I managed to remodify my loan, I find that I probably won't be able to keep my house again. Retirement. Never had anything in it. What little is there, I will have to use it to live on. Medication. A must. I can't live without taking my thyroid pills or I will die in three days. Asthma meds. Need it to breath, but that's only if I have my thyroid pills. It's only good with the other. My son's summer college classes cancelled. No money to pay the teachers for the summer. How soon will I get my money for next month mortgage. No clue! Am I a survivor? Yes I am. As soon as I get a job that pays 20 dollars and hour, I get laid off, reorganized, whatever and have to scramble for another job and start a 9 dollars an hour. I don't know how I'm going to do it this time, but I really need to work for myself.


At 49 years old, no one respects my ability to make money through my talents, skills and work ethic more than myself. I just need a break!
