La Gringa -- I am so sorry. I completely understand that companies are making tough decisions now and may need to lay people off. I'm on one of our firm's HR committees and we're challenged by those same issues. But is it too much to ask to treat people with compassion, dignity and respect?? Maya, make sure to remind your clients not to be asshats!

Oh believe me I do! All of my clients seem to want to do right by people, but it's a tough situation all around. Good luck to you Miss Bri and La Gringa!! |

Oh crap, LG, really sorry to hear this. Hope you can at least get some sort of explanation! (Edited to correct spelling) Edited by OTF, Feb 11 2009, 02:23 PM.

yeah it was crappy to say the least. I don't mean to hijack this thread either. I just didn't want to start a new thread to broadcast yet again I am unemployed. I must have a curse on me or something. It was plainly rude, they couldn't give me any explanation, the company or the staffing firm. Bullcrap I say. |

Holy Crapppola!!!!!!!!! This is awful, and jolts like this are even worse when they are unexpected. I just can't imagine how you both must be feeling. Right now I'm even more happy to be retired than I usually am. DH is still working, and we worry every day, as marine construction projects mostly are not neccesities. And they aren't cheap either.Do either of you live in or near an area where civil service jobs are available? Those folks seem to be a tad less likely to be shown the door. and |

Yes, I live near DC, but it's a long commute with hellish traffic from Middleburg to DC. I may consider it if something else doesn't come up. |
