I was supposed to lose my job 11/25. But, they weren't ready to get rid of us yet, so weekly we find out we get to keep our jobs for another couple weeks. This time I was told until the end of January. Have to get a few more paychecks to fix the transmission in my truck that just took crapped on my heart, then hit the ol' dusty trail.

Re: I hate this economy.

Just adding to this,

My dad is getting laid off tomorrow from his job because of company cutbacks

I am thinking of going back to school to become more certified in landscaping. Probably going to go for landscape architect license. It is getting hard out there with landscaping because everyone who is getting laid off figures landscaping is an easy way to make money. Just put a logo on the side of a truck and call yourself a landscape expert. Sucks for the people who know what they are doing but still getting under bidded.

Re: I hate this economy.

Here, pretty much all of Idaho's jobs are on a hiring freeze and laying off pretty well.

If worse comes to worse, we may have to be moving somewhere according to job markets

Re: I hate this economy.

ahhhh. Funny too!

I have a college friend who is a PhD polymer chemist. And she is from a very conservative asian family.

Where does she work?

^Nice.
Iceminion I met a guy that works at your company, but I forgot his name.
Anywho I work for Accellent Cardiology and they make medical equipment, we work 48 hours a week with extra overtime on the weekends.
I also am not liking my position of waiting to hear back from radiology schools and wanting to get married but not having money and not knowing if I will be in school next fall.
Good luck to you all in a tough spot.

I'd like to be a machinist for them someday! lol I always see them hiring.

I actually have two jobs,one full and one part, working 13 hour days Monday - Friday. I do feel fortunate, and I have to say at least in MN there are jobs out there, just don't be picky!

Re: I hate this economy.

They are for the most part getting rid of the night shift shipping position at my work on January 5th. Can't complain though, I hated the job and need to go back to school anyways.

6PM-6AM hours are quite possibly the worst hours I can possibly think of to work.
