More Cuts !!!

Ponyup · 02-10-2009, 01:00 PM

I feel for you. That's happening here. I cut out all the overtime for hourly, which okay whatever. But they stopped matching our 401K, they've been cutting our insurance, laying lots of people, & if things don't change they will cut my husbands salary by 5% next quarter. We both work her so it double sucks. However, if I get laid off I'm going back to school to be a teacher. But like everyone says no matter how much it sucks a job is still a job.

I know how you feel, we are down to a skelton crew and they cut wages and shut down for 1 week already and told to expect more shut downs over the next couple of months. So far they haven't touched our 401k's thank goodness.

It's getting rough everywhere.

I know you are upset, but at least you still have a job. It could be so much worse. I feel so badly for everyone affected by the economy. It will get better, but it will take time.

Oh my Goodness...no wonder you are upset! That's scary stuff

It's tough all over ladies. You've already heard my complaining. I had a booth in a trade show this evening and the talk was gloomy all over. When I'd ask someone how they are doing, the answer was usually, about the same as you are, none of the usual nicities. Everyone is so frustrated and basically afraid. The people who were smiling were just trying to be as positive as possible in a tough situation.

We're still all well fed. We have a comfortable home, a car to get us where we need to go, hot water. We have the people we love who love us, and a heavenly Father who loves us. Just keep hanging on, and things will eventually improve.

Hope everyone is right, it just sucks to live in a time like this. I wish they would have laid me off, i would be making more money on unemployement than what i am getting now, and i would go back to school .. and get the hell out of here!! That's for sure..

Be careful what you wish for Haley....it has a way of coming true and unemployment doesn't go on forever.
