Title: Another job down the drain
Post by Debr on Sep 20^th, 2007 at 9:00pm

Yep! I was informed yesterday(wednesday), that this friday will be my last day :(. At least I got a warning it was going to happen and I am getting 40 hours pay. This job lasted 6 weeks this time. I am sooooo disappointed tho. Seems like I am getting nowhere fast in the employment line. I do have enuf money to pay the bills for October, so I know God has a plan. I am looking for full-time regular, but all I have been able to get is full-time temporary.

Deb--I'm so sorry. The last company I worked for went out of business 8/4. I've been lucky and found something rather quick, but I no longer think about 'if' I'll be laid off, but rather 'when'. Its the nature of the beast in my industry. Always sucks though. Good luck--I hope you find something you like even better (and very quickly!)

(((hugs))) At least they told you ahead of time. My last job, of which was five years, made me come in then told me I'm done, gave me my checks and told me to bugger off. :-[ Hang in there! :)

Well---I went to work expecting it to be my last day, and lo and behold, not only am I going to work next week, but I got a RAISE!!!! Happy dance here. My supervisor didnt even tell me I was getting one. Now I wonder if it was even me she was going to lay off. Ummm---I am not so sure she is with it this week. Maybe it is good that this friday. So-I am ready for a particularly good evening..
