In the past 6 months we have gone from 60 to 20. We have split the 20 into two companies so we can keep everyone. Long story.... No one knows who will be NEXT, its difficult sometimes. The wondering alone causes depression. Im very lucky to STILL have a job. My overtime is what used to keep me going....ha!!! that is looong gone. Say it's just a dream...
U open up ur eyes and come 2 realize u simply imagined this So u lean over and give her a kiss Here on earth, here on earth, with u it's not so bad Here on earth, here on earth eye don't feel so sad Stay right here | |

Here's my take. It might piss y'all off, but maybe it won't.
First of all, I'm sorry you're losing your job. When one door closes, another opens. I know you'll be OK. But you know what? I didn't hear you express any remorse for the owner. You are losing a source of income. The owner is most likely losing EVERYTHING. He not only loses HIS job, but he loses whatever money he's sunk into the company over the years. If he's lucky, he won't have any lingering debt, but if he's like most, he'll be left with debt he'll have to pay. You, on the other hand, get to walk out of that sinking ship and you don't have to carry a single liability with you. You were paid for what you did - fairly paid, I assume, or you wouldn't have stuck around for 9 years. What else do you want? Why should you be thanked for doing what you were paid to do? That may sound harsh, but from your employer's point of view, that's the way it is. My heart goes out for you, no doubt. I believe you're a nice person. But I also know what the owner is going through. From your post, I gather he isn't shutting it down because he wants to. He's shutting it down because he's broke. He's lost everything. Cut him some slack. In fact, thank HIM for the job he gave you for 9 years. I promise you he will appreciate that with all his heart, and I bet then you'll get the thanks you're looking for. My two cents. | |

My two cents. Do you know why he is closing or that he actually has lost everything? The workers have their families to support mortgages or rent to pay, hence liabilities. If he has lost everything then everyone loses and feels agrieved. You're a decent guy, but I think the comments are too harsh without the facts... which we have no right to know. I have my own business... if I go under it's my problem.   I have a firm grip on reality...Maybe just not this reality   |

I have my own business... if I go under it's my problem. My point exactly. If you go under, you don't expect any sympathy from your employees, do you? So why should the reverse be true? And the business owner that is closing down ALSO has a mortgage, family, etc. But he also almost certainly has business debt, which the employee does not have. Show me a business owner that is closing because he's MAKING money and I'll eat my hat. I think you're a decent person, too! | |

I think most of us do it... I know I do... ...I also think we are singing the same song to a slightly different tune ...These are really tough times when we all have to pull together... I know I don't really need tell you that... ...PRB is a lovely person and needs our suppurt... and also the owner of the business she worked for... I am sure she cares...
I have a firm grip on reality...Maybe just not this reality |
