Job worries again....

[FINFAN]

DH just called...lunch memo sent out to all employees from suits to part-timers..."at this time we are doing all we can to avoid a reduction of force at this time, however several divisions will need to restructure within the next 30 -60 days"....
reduce...restructure....DH is a new hire...6 mo's and you knowthe saying, last hired, first fired.
DH seems to think "adjustments" will occur in different divisions than his...just so unsettling.
Not to mention I am only about $700 away from having our Dec trip paid in full, the kids will be crushed as we did not take any summer trips (o.k. Milwaukee for 48 hours)
It is much harder to think about cancelling when it is paid for...Iknow we will have to tho to set the $$$ aside...all except that non-refundable airfare I am going to try and not think about it right now...we may be o.k., but what a crummy memo!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and send you some PD... it would be lousy to cancel. If the worst happens maybe you can still go but scale back??

 

[Planogirl]

I know very well what you're dealing with. I agree, maybe if the worst happens you could still go and scale way back? This wobbly job market nowadays stinks.

Fingers crossed for you two.

We are going through restructuring where I work due to a merger. My department is going to be cut in half. Everyone in my boyfriend's department got sacked. So many of us have been working at this company for a decade or more. And now we all have to compete for these jobs against people we consider family. Very tough.

Thanks guys....I am not stressing TOO much...denial, perhaps? I just can't....not healthy...no news is good news kinda thing....went to he** and back while DH was job searching last few years and if there's one thing I learned, until the final document is in front of you for hiring or firing...anything goes!
OH WELL...Back to the intensified job search mode...at least DH is really current w/all the recruiters he's dealt with as of late!

So sorry for the stress this must be putting on your family. I hope you get it worked out.

If the trip is almost paid off I say go...Dh got laid off on July 1 and we still went and hadn't even planned on a trip prior to being laid off...we just needed to get away...best money we spent

 

[gr8tpanther]

Crossing my fingers, toes and nose hairs!!! I know that I myself would be devastated to have to cancel a DISNEY trip...

I hope that it ALL works out.. here is some PD coming your way!

 

[orvilleair]

Like your DH said, maybe it will be in a different division. DW got a memo of massive "RIFs" and got an email today that they are financially sound for another year.

Tons of s, prayers and pixie dust to you and your family.
