Yesterday at work I found out that I just may become a statistic. Come the first of the year I probably will be unemployed. My department is being outsourced because the company is worried about “the bottom line…the profits”. I’M concerned about MY bottom line but I guess that’s my problem, right? Shit like this does not help the economy one iota. At least if it comes to it I should be eligible for unemployment since the loss of my job was not my fault, it’s being taken away from me.
Now my bosses have said that they will work with us to see if some of us can be placed in other positions within the company or even outside the company and of course I will do my best to remain employed but it just might not be possible. At least they are giving us plenty of notice so I’d best be getting my resume in order just in case. It just makes me a little angry that with things so bad in the economy companies will still do things that only make it worse. At this rate we’ll never recover.
Anyway, that’s the latest…
