My sister sent me an email this morning, she was laid off yesterday. No compensation package because she had been there only 2 years.
Downsizing. Consolidating. Restructuring. It's happening everywhere.
Frankly, I'm tired of it all. Tired of the corporate world. Of all the changes. Of all the bullshit and red flags and honestly I think i'll be much happier when it finally happens here where I work. I hope that when it does that I can go out and find a job that I really and truly enjoy doing and still have the freedom to take off when and if I need to and be able to have insurance coverage for me and my family. I'm not saying that I don't like my job here, it's just that in the last 17 years I have seen way too many changes and way too much bullshit. I have seen employees steal from the company but yet still be able to get unemployment and then sue the company for firing them. I have seen the company settle with them because they just want it to go away. This is happening with the people that are doing the wrong things. You would think it would be returned 100-fold to the people who have worked their butts off for this company.
**stepping off the soap box**
I hope that my sister won't have too much trouble finding a job. She is already stressing about her wedding that is coming up in December. He finance just finished college several months ago and got a good paying job and i'm sure my sister won't have any trouble finding another job. She's gotten quite good at it actually. I think she's been laid off 3 or 4 times now.
Speaking of family, my brother, the one who found out his wife had been cheating on him for years and she also has a drug and alcohol problem, is doing well. He found a house to move into and will be moving this weekend. He moved his soon to be x-wife out of the house they were living in too. The courtdate for the domestic violence charge was postphoned to December because she failed to show up for court, but they did lift the no-contact order, because he needs to be in contact with her because of their daughter. She has agreed to seek treatment for the alcohol and drugs, so hopefully she really will.
Alrighty then, back to work I go.....anyone want to come have fun with me?
