The count came in at 62 people. Between last Thursday and Friday my hubby's work laid off 62 workers. Lets add that to the others and they have probably laid off 150 of their employees since late Spring. I am very thankful they have not laid of hubby but why? Why does he still have a job? Does he actually work when he is there? He don't do as much as he could around the house, that's for sure. But I am thankful he has a job. The first and second time they laid people off it was based on their production and how well they work. Basically if you stood around all day and did nothing you got laid off. Now this last time it was based on what jobs were needed. They were able to weed out those that maybe didn't really need to be there because their job really had no point. Doesn't a company really have to be hurting to lay off that many employees since Spring? I do worry about what is to come. Hubby said this week some time they are having a huge meeting. Rumor has it the company is going to merge the 3 shifts into 2. They currently have a 6-2pm, 2-10pm, 10p,-6am shifts. When hubby started there he starts working 2-10pm and did this for about 8 years before he moved up on the list and was offered a day time shift. Sound like they will eliminate the 10pm-6am shift. This will allow them to save money. Hubby's dad also works there. He has worked there many years as well and so far has been lucky to keep his job. They both feel that another lay off might mean the company would just need to close.
We can only pray for the best.
