D-Day

I just got the email of doom. Well, first I got a voicemail and a text from two different people at work about the email.

Then I read it.

"Staff meeting today...2:00...to discuss changes that will take effect in two weeks."

I mentioned Friday I was concerned about a different shift and different job...it looks like that might happen.

I just wish they'd have the professional courtesy to tell me and the other few people it directly impacts, as opposed to a company wide announcement.

Again, I was promised a long time ago if this happens, I'll won't get fired. Let's hope.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Update....

I got a call around noon that yes, my particular work project was getting cut, and that I'd be reassigned to another shift (possibly better, but not quite the work I want to do)...tomorrow i'm meeting again with the higher ups to hopefull negotiate something for me that I actually want to do.

Later again,
:W:

I worked for a company who laid off close to a hundred people via an "emergency conference call." As they herded us into the conference room, I asked aloud "Is this when they turn on the gas?"

People laughed until they realized what was going to happen.

Lewis, MQB, and Kevin...

Thanks for the positive thoughts. I know it could be worse...I could be out of work altogether. Or Gassed. Or Dead.
