Have You Been Laid Off?

i havent yet,however it looks like long term it may be inevitable..i figure my paycheck is off by about a 1/3 right now,its the slowest i have seen work since the early 80's.

im making all the preparations i can now,and have been for a while..

this is going to be a long bumpy ride to the bottom for us all..
no matter what the nay sayers and denialists think...

 

i get laid off seasonally...have been for ten years...

 

One of my friends bros had a mortgage related job in va beach, and got laid off a couple months ago. He had to rent his townhouse and move to cali to stay with friends.

 

I got laid off twice in 2007, but never due to a company downsizing or folding. Just relocation or their operations.

Edit: They remained in the USA(midwest).

 

my job is fairly secure; people always eat pizza...



however the factory my mom works at just eliminated something like 30 positions (not hers luckily)

 

My dad got laid off years ago (12, I think, I was 9). I work a job with an insanely high turnover rate, so I think my job is pretty secure.

 

The drought brought an end to my greenhouse job. It hit my employer so bad she's not sure she's going to plant anything for this coming summer.

 

Good thing pimps don't fire people, or you'd really be hit.

 

I was big in the mullet-porn buisness, but that fads gone away.

 

I don't have a pimp.

 

nyet, but i live in canuckia and im juts a part time monkey

 

Having just got back from overseas I am on the dole. I am a responsible worker, always ensuring that my resume and personal appearance are in tip top shape for the few jobs I actually want to apply for, then to make up my quota, I am always careful to ensure I apply for jobs I have no chance in hell of getting, and for extra security, send off a grammatically incorrect resume with expired references. The government is a good employer and I don't see myself being laid off soon.

 

Our economy is doing excellent. There are plenty of jobs. Actually, there are more jobs than we (the Dutch people) can fill ourselves, so we are getting lots of Turkish, Maroccan, Portugese, Polish and other people from Eastern European countries to fill those jobs.

 

Nah, my companies doubling in volume this year.

 

The crack-cocaine industry or Pimp's USA?

 

Nah, do that for the love of the game.

I manage material with a company that assembles blackberry cell phones.

 

Nope, hours are up and so is pay.

A friend got laid off recently, but he was drinking on the job so it's tough to blame the economy.
