Good bye job *e 3
Fucking fantastic.
I go into my bosses office to have some documents signed. She starts talking about the lay offs. 100 are from our division alone (that’s 10 per cent of the total. Nice, right?)
She is fussing about how the projected positions they want to lay off just "aren’t going to work"… and she’s looking really worried at me. She says she can’t show anyone the list and it’s so hush hush…
She then asks me how many Student Workers we have.
I tell her about 20.
And she says,
"Well, that’s 20 positions. I’d rather lay them off than you."
yep.
than ME.
yeah.
so i’m really seriously thinking my head is on the fucking chopping block.
it’s really scary.
*And I think I’m gonna throw up.
*2: Yeah… and email just got sent out to the two people who are UNDER ME directly in the Personnel section. Saying they are going to be taking on a lot of extra work in the future and that they can’t sign up to help with special groups or fund raisers… the only thing I can think of is that they are going to be taking MY work.
fuck me.
*3: I need to calm down. It’s really scary and I caught myself crying. but I need to calm down. I can’t really afford to get a paycut or to lose my job. I’ve already accepted furloughs of 2 days a month and that hurt, but I was still able to survive.
what I’m scared of is starting the slippery slide down the path of getting laid off.
I need to not overreact.
If I get laid off, I go to my previous position. It makes less money, but I’d still be employed.
I need to keep that in mind.
I would have to give up a lot… though I’m not sure what. Definitely television would be the first thing to go.
I don’t know.
I really just don’t know.
My head hurts thinking about it and it just tops off a perfectly fucktabulous week.
god. just shoot me.
nobody around me seems to have any inkling that anything bad could be happening to our section. But I’m guessing nobody has gone to talk to my boss since she got that fucking evil ass bitch list.
*sigh*
I’m just hoping she goes to bat for me and helps me save my position.
yeah, I’ve worked with the city for 9 years, so that does mean something.
i have to keep positive, right?
ugh.
It makes me feel guilty when I’m not working.
so I’m gonna get to it.
Sorry if I haven’t read or noted you today.
I’m trying.
Oh man. I’m a fucking mess for you right now. That sucks.

Ok, my thoughts are they are going to be taking the peoples work below them. You know, work UP the ladder….like if they were getting chopped you would get their work. Hopefully this is right. Hopefully. Please.

Oh God that sucks…Will they offer severance packages? I’m prayin’ for you… Reading Nin’s comment… I would think she is right.

Are you sure she never meant that she wanted to be the one to lay them off rather then you having to do it? And, she didn’t mean that first she’d be laying them off and THEN you?
