Evidentally the stapler thing didn't pan out after all. After being at my current job for 12 years, I was downsized yesterday. Completely out of the blue. I'm beyond stunned by all of it. Bottom line, our business had been suffering with premiums on the rise and many people going elsewhere because of it. I was looking for something better paying anyway - now I just need to look harder.
When I called my Dad, he said 'I thought you were in there pretty solid' - well Dad, so did I. There is no such thing as job security - loyalty to an employer evidentally means very little. I've always been a very good employee - working overtime with no pay whenever asked - working extra to cover for people whenever asked - in 12 years I'd never taken my entire vacation days off ever - I've always done my work and then some - I trained EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE he has left - most people I know told me that I always got walked all over there, but I liked my job. I liked my co-workers. My boss was very flexible if I did need time off for any reason for the girls.
My last day was yesterday - I go Sunday to clean out my office. It feels weird. I grew up there. I've worked there since I was 18. My office feels so much like 'home' to me. I'm really gonna miss it.

| Suzanne May 23, 2007 11:57 PM PDT I know that this doesn't seem fair or right or even remotely dealable. But think fo it as an opportunity to find something better, somewhere the greatness of Carrie will not be unappreciated. This certainly has been a terrible time for you. Just remember that we love you. | ||
