Keep Moving On.....

This week has been a rough one- I am glad it is almost over. We had several meetings within the company on Monday, in those we learned due to current times the company had to make some changes to 'make it through' the year. Some of those smaller changes were cutting bonus, cutting extra expenses and cutting raises. Those are things that you don't like to see go because you look forward to, but you can deal with because you still have a job. The more drastic of the changes was that we learned that 10% of the company was going to be let go to cut expenses. This just puts a sick feeling in your stomach, no one wants to lose their job. To make things a little rougher on people they were not going to start letting go in our office until the next day, so you had to go home and think about it all Monday night. Tuesday was a very hard day as you sat and worked and hoped to not get the dreaded call from HR. It was also very sad to watch people and close friends that you have worked with for years, some since you started walk away and you knew they were coming back. I was glad when Tuesday was over, you felt like you could finally breathe again- but my thoughts are defiantly with those who lost their jobs that day.
