zianurayFirst we were told "You can apply for voluntary layoff until the day before we actually start layoffs."
We were also told that layoffs would be in September.
Yesterday a memo was posted that "voluntary" paperwork must be turned in by 25 August to be considered.
Sounds like that "September" bit might have gotten adjusted a tad, huh?
Am i worried? Really? No. Maybe i should be, but i wasn't even LOOKING for a job when i got this one, 15+ years ago. The one time i DID get laid off here, i drew maybe 3 full unemployment checks in 5 months--the rest of the time i was working at one job or another, PLUS still going to business school full-time. It has been my experience that, if you want to work, there is a job. Maybe it doesn't pay what you were making, maybe it is less "prestigious," but there is a job if you'll do it.
So i don't want to hear anyone wailing about "there are no jobs," got it? It's just that there aren't jobs that you're willing to do.
I was taught that any job is worth doing, and that if you're doing it, give it your best effort or you're cheating yourself more than your boss, your co-workers, or your customers.
Soapboxed it again, didn't i, Madame Llama Hon? Maybe i'll post again a bit later when i can be all chipper and newsy ;)
