Merry Christmas to all....

So my company has decided that to cut costs, everyone must take their sick and vacation time by the end of the year or lose it all.  Sucks, but got to clear the books.  Now, if you used your sick and vacation time like I did, you are forced to take 7 1/2 days off without pay.  Merry Christmas.  I am upset, frustrated and just plain pissed.  December, Christmas, bad economy, over a week without a pay check...I just shake my head and say lay me off.  If I was laid off, I could at least collect.  Yes I know that having a job is better than being let go, but come on.  I am in essence paying my company for these days...and I can bet you any amount of money that my CEO and the whole bunch still take their multi-million dollar bonuses...

So anyway, just more wonderful shit hitting the proverbial fan during an already unpleasant Christmas season.  Game On!

Shitty fucking deal. That is brutal. Of course this has to happen right before xmas. If there is any, any positive out of this its that you have more time to play W@W during the week they make you take off.

I fired over 40 people this week, and sending most of the remaining to take their vacation.

Trust me, I'm pissed also, even though I'm dong the firing. This was supposed to be a record year then by August everything had turned into shit.

I am sorry to hear the PMA. Times are getting really crappy. We have been lucky so far. We are being told no bonuses and a very marginal increase (not even worth noting). But the word is layoffs after the new year. Lets see what happens right.
