Thanks, I was kinda looking forward to the shift change, too. I probably won't know anything more in two weeks. Not only do they like to leave us hanging, but I am union so they actually have to plan out how to lay us off. Guess we'll just have to break you again when I know more.

On the upside (if there is one) being union may or may not help. I might have some options to stay in the company, even if they offer a package. Unfortunately, it might mean displacing someone with less seniority. I am hoping they either pull their collective heads out and realize that there operational costs are going to skyrocket with this move(Fat Chance) and/or they create positions for us in the region on the same pay level. I am not sure I will be holding my breath for the union to actually stand up for us. Nothing to do but wait now.
I am still going to Florence, come hell or high water. Gonna try to make Easton, too.

Hurry up and get laid off. You can hold down the other end of the couch for me.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] I have 2 more weeks of keeping the tivo cleaned out.
On the seriuos side, sorry to hear about that. Hopefully you can get a new position, on days or something.

Found out last week, my job is migrating to California and I am NOT, so I won't know if I will be working or have a whole lot of spare time coming up. Gotta love corporate America. Don't think I will know in a week, might have to shoot for a day ride or something.

Just had a layoff at my work. 6 people from my office are gone. We have offices all over the US and i guess acouple people from every branch got layed off. Obviously i'm safe. I think i'm in a pretty good spot where i know how to do everyones job so i'm not a big threat, so to speak.

Well I'm back (not that anybody noticed i was gone) Got moved in and just got cable and internet hooked up. Only took almost a whole month. Good thing Comcast is the only provider in this area.
