I survived black Friday

Well, our company was finally hit. Sales down 50% and no sign of going back up. So at 8:30 this morning 7 others and myself were called to one meeting and 19 others to another. Needless to say I still have a job. Happy for me, but sad day for the others. Now my job title is going to be: Senior Sales Engineer, Shipping Supervisor and Assembly Tech... Bad way to start out the weekend. Beer's on me!

Sweet! Come on up my way. Michelob Light will do nicely!

Congratulations. Sounds like at least they did it all at once.

Happy to hear you made it, I know you were worried. Also congrats on a great tournament Tuesday!
Being without a job seems OK at first but the uncertainty is hard to live with.

I'm glad you made it, but that's and awful lot of titles for one person. Hope it's not too hard on ya.

I agree. I've been laid off since April, there's just not any jobs out there.

Thanks guys. It was hard to see people go that I've worked there with for 10 years.
