Whos still working? POLL

[pOrk]

Was talking about this at work, someone was bitching that they know more people laid off then they do working. Typical north sider :banana1:

[wrath]

We're both working but my girlfriend gets a week of unpaid vacation this year.

[pOrk]

I'm still working too, been there a year and 4 months

[Breecher_7]

Still working...........

Had a interview for a different job last week to, hopefully they make it worth my while, great place.

Jobs are out there, people just dont look hard enough.

[Rocket Power]

They laid people off by my wife, not by us yet. We're both still working, been there 7 1/2 years

[That_Guy]

[03CVLX]

Im still working going on three years. Yay, for sending ambulances for toothaches :rolf

[Jsho13]

[pOrk]

Im still working going on three years. Yay, for sending ambulances for toothaches :rolf

Must have been one hell of a toothache

[Nix]

The wife and I are both still working.

I'm going on 8years this summer for the same place and she is going on 5 years at the same accounting firm.

I work for a medical supply company, everyone needs thos, right? Hopefully my job is stable.

I'm not worried at all about hers.

[pOrk]

Accounting firm? Do they need an Actuarial Analyst by chance?

[UnderPSI]

Working, WE Energies since June 01

[HRSEPLA]

I'm still working, and all my guys are too.
Tina lost her part time job 6 months ago (And enjoying it :))

[03CVLX]

Must have been one hell of a toothache

Ha, I wish... We get calls for Toothaches, Hang nails, etc daily. As a matter of fact one time the guy told me he had it for 3 weeks and finally at 3:25 AM on a Sunday he couldn't possibly stand it anymore and needed an ambulance. So we gotta send em.

[Yeehaw]

working my ass off, last check was 41 hrs of overtime and this check i got yesterday had 22 on it

[Inspector13]

Still working. Actually where I work they are always hireing people as we are actually expanding. We are also getting a bonus of 10% of our gross income this year. :banana1:



(I make silicon medical supplies).

[T-Bag]

Working and just picked up a new job that seems pretty darn busy/stable

[lordairgtar]

Still working but they cut our hours. Some have rolling layoffs...one week on and one week off. been there since 1991.

[WickedSix]

still working, just about to graduate, trying to find new full time engineering position:nutkick

[JC70SS]

working and very busy

[Holeshot]

Automotive after market is doing well. I am working overtime and resetting our store. My part time job has been slow though.

[rally_scort]

picked up a job 2 weeks ago, were slow but I think ill be sticking around for a while :D

[84hurst]

Still working... but prolly not at the end of the month. Been with the company less than 6 mo.

[PB86MCSS]

Out of work, my position was eliminated in October, was there 3.5 years as a staff accountant.

There certainly are jobs out there but alot more competition too. The market isn't great. I hope people who think its easy out there don't lose their position :rolleyes: .

[RanJer]

Still working, been there 8 months. They've laid off plenty of people, pretty much to the point where they can't lay me off..*knock on wood*

[turbogarrett]

While not swamped right now, we are staying afloat. There are very few new construction projects out there.

[DurtyKurty]

Still working with reduced hours (32). Doing menial work.... no real work in near future. :(

They are quoting a lot of work though... just nobody is moving forward. Been there 13 years.

[badass88gt]

Jobs are out there, people just dont look hard enough.

Wish that were true up here. We've had over 2500 people lose their jobs in Marathon County in the last year. There is nothing for work up here and its getting worse by the week. The 3 largest factories in Wausau have laid off about 1000 just between the 3 of them. Luckily I'm high enough up in seniority that I should be safe, but in our other Union guys lost their jobs with 18+ years seniority.

[hotshift13]

We are going crazy. The way it looks we may need to hire a couple new guys soon. I work for a small company, only there one year and second in command.

[GTSLOW]

Still working ;)

[Prince Valiant]

Anyone notice the unemployment rate at BCM is more than twice the national average?

[That_Guy]

While not swamped right now, we are staying afloat. There are very few new construction projects out there.

depending on what field your in as far as construction goes.. get ready for one slow summer if things dont pick up on my end.. "architect/draftspersons" the medical end of things is doing "ok" but everything else is really really scary slow

[BadAzzGTA89]

Im real busy at work!
The world would slow to a hault or stop if trucks stopped moving:)

[Poncho]

Still working, but they've cut me from having any more OT

[twicks69]

Both my wife and I are still employed. We have been with our current employers for ~5 years a piece.

Work has been quieter the last two months, but I was also working ~2900-3200 hours a year for 4 of the last 5 years. I am relaxing with 40 hours, but there has been a noticable decline in field environmental engineering jobsites since the end of December.

As for transmissions, I had a shitton of quotes over the winter, and I am starting to see a nice increase in actual purchases and rebuilds, so YAY.

[BoosTT]

wow. I don't even know anyone who's been layed off.

[lilws6]

Every one i knows is working including me

[Nix]

Accounting firm? Do they need an Actuarial Analyst by chance?




Shes a tax accoutant, she said they don't deal with actuarial analysts over by her, atleast no that she knows.

no i dont really ride much... i have my gary fisher that i used to ride to work when it was 2 miles away...now i drive 35 miles to work and dont really ride the bike much.

That's exactly my issue. I work at Hayes Bicycle Group and live 30miles away.

[lordairgtar]

Yesterday as I pull into the parking lot of work and notice cars there that should not be there this week. Turns out the bosses decided to just lay off a bunch of people and have them call in on Fridays to see if they come to work on Monday. Only six people are working in a plant that usually has 30 people on the floor. I is skurd!

[TURTLE]

i'm still happily employed... it's the tire slow season right now, but we're staying partially busy.... come march we should pick up again for the summer seasons and stay busy into fall and winter.... been there a year and a half

[MurphysLaw88GT]

Still employed as of now. We had half of my department walked out. They no more layoffs...but we will see.

[Rocket Power]

Still going , was super slow now just slow

[Sleeper Sierra]

now working every other week. looking for a career change.

[Breecher_7]

Still working, seem to have enough work to keep me busy.

Were on a skeleton crew at this point though, they lay anyone else off the place wont be able to function. We actually have more work then the people that are still there can keep up with. They need to bring someone back!

[Korndogg]

still laid off......

[Exitspeed]

Still laid off. I'm trying to hustle for some extra money. Design/sell shirts (e'hem), and I'm looking to do some side jobs.

IF ANYONE NEEDS DRYWALL WORK, TILE WORK, PAINTING, REMODELING, ETC I can give you a bid.

The End.

[97z2801ss]

Laid off from HD with less then 2 years but I got another job

[PB86MCSS]

Found another position, finally and thankfully. Been a long 4+ months looking with this crappy economy.

[pOrk]

Well, my time is coming to an end with Metalcraft. They keep telling me " Atleast you still have a job. " What they leave in the fine print is the fact that I will be getting a pay cut that works out to about $3.60 less PER HOUR, I have to work 4 more hours per week, and oh yea, 2 more days a week. All hours of which I will now be working will be 3rd shift. What a deal.

Not that I haven't been looking for a different job as I kinda figured this was coming, the search is on.

[lordairgtar]

Well, we are back to five day work week and they called back two people. Hope that is indication of better times. I did here that one of our customers has laid off 150 peeps.

[MurphysLaw88GT]

Well, I got pwned

[Silver03SRT]

I am at work right now.

[SmokinRAM114]

me too. lol

[PureSound15]

Thank God I work for a large credit union and not a bank!

Employed :)

[GinoRin]

Employed, but since I'm heavily involved in the investment business revenue is pretty weak

[94greenbandit]

I am as busy as ever with no signs of slowing down and my wife finally got a job after 4 months of when she quit her last one

[Silver03SRT]

I am the design manager for a steel rule die shop. The printing industry has really slowed down.
