...we had one in the Spring and I was just told we're facing another...starting this week.

I'm a little scared.

sucks

!!!!!

It sucks so bad that we cannot have security in the job market. I have been through five layoffs in my career life. I can't believe so many fellow Americans praise this climate in the guise of their whoredom to the free market making the most money at whatever expense.....even their own..

thanks, guys...

and, Supa, I know...it's frightening. But, I know Michigan has it the worst...we've got the most job losses of any state. If I do get laid off, I'm seriously considering moving. It'll be the second layoff in two years.

Job security is a precious thing.

I know...

thanks for the prayers, NumberOne

Make sure you don't vote Republican for governor. They are the enablers of outsourcing and don't give a shit that the jobs are moving away. The Republican elite are the ones benefitting from these policies.

DUDE! Are you kidding me?! You have to know me better than that!

applekisses said:

I know you'd rather chop off your tits than vote for those cretans It was more a general comment directed at fellow Michigonians

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Then I could REALLY weigh them in the scale at the fruit market!

Just be an actress or a model, you are fine enough..smile.

applekisses said:

OMG!!!! We should have totally done that when you, Gangsta and I went vegetable shopping for dinner

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

OMG!!! I can't believe we forgot! Next time...Westborn Market here we come!

applekisses said:

I didn't mean chop them off Just that we could lop them in the scales and see how much they weigh If I helped you it couldn't be obscene because I don't view those apples as sex objects

Awwww..... I'm totally having happy memories of my trip right now

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I wonder how we'd explain it to the stockboy, though.

You're such a smooth operator!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Me too

applekisses said:

.....Um, I'm having a hard time with these melons over here. My friend is just helping me to find one the right size ....

applekisses said:

Was that a good enough of an explanation?

where are you concidering moving too?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I think it'll work!

SpisaRibb said:

Not sure yet...I'd have to see where there are the most job opportunities in my field.

Good luck!

A friend's wife who works for Intel is also sweating some upcoming lay-offs, I can imagine the pressure is very scary.

DiminutiveRocker said:

thanks It is scary...when they did this in March we lost 25 percent of our staff.

applekisses said:

what's you field, if thats not too much info..

You bust your ass for them and do the work of how many people? They'll be looking to axe the people who are expendable. I hardly think you qualify.

SnakePeel said:

Yeah, but we really don't have anyone else here who is "expendable". One consolation is that they're going through the hospitals first before they hit the corporate departments again.

It's communications, journalism or public relations.
