Anxious.. Will I be laid off?

Okay, I have to get this out!!!!

 

We were just told that our company will be having lay-offs and I am terrified I am going to lose my job. I am the junior person in my job working/training under a very senior person who is an industry expert. My salary is at the top of the range for my position and my boss just asked me yesterday to send her a list of everything I am working on. And.. I just asked my boss if I should be worried and she just looked at me and said "We should all be worried".

 

I know I am probably freaking out over nothing; but I am the one who brings in more $$ in our household. We are on a strict budget with the wedding coming up and we cannot afford to have me lose my job.

 

Okay, I should just stfu.gif now! I know that there are a lot of people in this economy who have already lost their jobs who are in a lot worse shape than FI and I.

 

Thanks for listening!

Well for what it's worth, I feel your pain. Our company is laying off people left and right, my husband and I both work for the same company so if one of us goes, odds are that we will both loose our jobs. I have this strange feeling (along with some things I heard) that I'll be laid off within a month. One can only hope that we all miss the layoffs. Jobs in MI (because of all the big three) are very hard to come by. Good luck and hopefully this round of layoffs doesn't hit the both of us.

Tammy.. I have my fingers crossed for both you and your DH! I work in NYC so I absolutely feel your pain about the job market. Please let me know how it turns out for you. smile03.gif

Hang in there... better luck is around the corner.
Thank you so much!!! I honestly thought that my industry was "safer" than others; but I guess not... You are very fortunate and btw, I love your siggy pics!

I know, I am not that busy either... My fingers are crossed for you as well! We will all get through this tough economic climate together!

I thought the same thing. I'm an accountant and we're in high demand, but they still laid off 30% of my department effective Thursday. I found out that they also let go a lot of my Japanese contacts.

Thankfully, I'm still employed. I'm pretty sure I won't be in danger any time soon, because I'm an MVP of my organization. Although, they've been slowly offshoring our work to Slovakia, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got rid of our jobs altogether in the next few years. Plus, if they do cut me, it releases me of my obligation to the company for my MBA. I either have to stay with them for two years after I graduate in May or I have to pay them back for the degree. If I leave the company, I can definitely make more somewhere else, but I'd owe them lots of money in return.

I hope that everything turns out ok for you.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
