I got downsized. I've been expecting it any day for about 4 years now, but you get so used to seeing that ax up there you forget that eventually, it's going to come down on your neck. (*head rolls across room and stops face down next to wall*)
Less employees = cost cutting = company stops loosing so much money. I've known this was coming for a long time; I shouldn't be so surprised. I guess I was hoping for later rather than sooner.
At least they didn't lay me off at Christmas time; that would have really sucked.
It's a new year, and that's when a lot of companies reassess things and do their hiring and firings. I worked for a company that was cutting personnel, now I've got to find one that is planning to expand this year. :)
You're not alone, my husband got demoted this Jan and that cuts around 1,200 out of our monthly pay (which we really needed for like, the house payment!)
I have to look for something else: I've got a mortgage to pay and a debt load like you wouldn't believe (long story). Something will come up, hopefully with a shorter commute for me. 34+ miles each way was wearing my nerves thin. Sadly, I can say it wore my body any thinner. :)
