along with ………

4 weeks paid vacation

8 days paid sick time

6 paid holidays

paid health insurance

paid $25,000 life insurance

group dental insurance plan

and half a life time of experience……….

And I’m not the only one – just the longest – 14 full time positions were cut; 5 dismissed entirely, 9 reduced to 25 hrs/wk and all benefits taken away (I’m in this category). No warning – no notice – no severance – no retirement

On the bright side I know a whole group of fisherfolks who may throw an extra fish or two my way! Or quail, or duck etc etc………

Sorry to hear that Jackie.

I'm really sorry to hear that news Jackie. Please keep us informed as to your status.

I hope every thing is well....things will work out..they always do ...

I am so sorry to hear that Jackie. You will be in our prayers, it's certainly a tough world right now.

I hate to hear that, but what kinda job you looking for now, and maybe someone on here is looking for someone.

That truly sucks. Sorry to hear it.

May I suggest "Who Moved My Cheese?" if you haven't already read it? I found it excellent.

Jackie, sorry to hear that. It is always rough to overcome such an obstacle but I have always found that good will come from such challenges placed in our lives. Please do share your experience and expertise. My company is hiring select positions and I may be able to direct you to appropriate contact. If you wish to keep it private you can always PM me. Best luck either way!

PS...we all chase the ever moving cheese and that is an excellent book. Highly recommend.

Sorry Jackie.
It is just another sign that times are tough and getting tougher.
I will do what I can for you.

Another thing I've lost is use of the internet after 1 pm (no computer at home!)

Charles - you brought a smile just reading the title of Who Moved My Cheese!! How appropriate if you think about it for a sec. I haven't read it but surely will.

Yes I'm out in the job hunting market these days. I'm somewhat over the shock, with emphasis on somewhat, and feel this could turn out to be a good thing. I'm even considering going to school to retrain in another field such as medical transcribing etc. I'm actually a bit looking forward to challenging my brain again because I can do this job thoughtlessly having done it for so long.

GatorBaiter - I'll you a resume - thanks for even asking

Jumptrout - I now have in print that you'll help anyway you can so you can either take me to all your fishing spots, so I can better feed myself, or give me your numbers

And before anyone says your numbers don't produce fish - I can stand to lose some weight - so I want them anyway

Thanks for the replies

Jackie

Jackie, unless you just don't want it out there you can send me your resume and I can convert it "so that it can't be modified" and post it up for folks to look over

PS: Yeh, I know ya wont see this till tomorrow but then, yer always late anyhow

Thanks Waldon I may take you up on that just not right now.

Charles & Matt - by chance yesterday I stopped by the Goodwill bookstore on Thomasville Rd and lo and behold there it was - a brand new issue of "Who moved my Cheese"!! Who would of thunk it $4.70 Will be reading it soon......

Sea ya'll

Jackie
