And the hits just keep on coming.....

I posted a while back about DH having been out of work since November, and he as yet is still unemployed.
This week my hours have been cut in half and my pay reduced by 10 %. So pretty much there is no way for us to make ends meet now. Not sure what is going to happen from here.... we shall see. At least I already have all of Aprils bills paid. Now we shall see how long my incredibly meager savings will last.
Just had to whine a little......this is just all so unfair.

I am so sorry!!! It just keeps getting worse. A guy I work with said his wife lost her job. The company is having mexicans come up and job shadow for a year and the current employees will train them, then the company is moving the plant to Mexico.... how nice is that!!! You can have your job for the next year while you train the person that will be putting you out of a job!!!

I wish you well and that things turn around for you and your DH. HUGS

I am so sorry about your troubles. I will definately be keeping you and your DH in my prayers. This economy is really crappy. And to have executives making the money and bonuses they do. Just really ticks me off.
Again, I will be keeping you in my prayers.

Sorry about your troubles. I hope something positive will happen for you and your family soon. I work as a fedex driver and see on a daily basis companies going out of business, cutting shifts or hours, and laying off people. It is very sad to see, and a lot of us are wondering when it might be our turn. I do believe that the economy is starting to make a comeback. Good luck to you and your family
