I like a little adventure in my life, but when it comes to my job I’m all about security. No upheavals unless I say so.
Unfortunately, our small office was rocked by some major changes by corporate last week – despite already weathering layoffs and paycuts in June. This time, we lost one person, two others were made part-timers, and there were further paycuts. Luckily, I was one of two who wasn’t affected but I’m not feeling entirely comfortable about the future of my job. This economy is kicking our ass, and the sheer ineptitude of some of my colleagues isn’t helping matters. The CEO really needs to lose the dead weight and kick everyone else’s ass into gear. Not including me of course…I ROCK.
I have never, ever, in my life been fired or laid off from a job. The thought of being unemployed is horrifying. Obviously I’m going to cling to this job with a death grip for as long as they want to keep me on board. With two kids to support I have no choice. But part of me is excited that I may finally have a kick in the butt to get out there and look for something that makes me happy. I bet there are hoards people out there feeling the same way and using this shitty economy as an excuse to finally pursue a dream, or start a small business.
So, times are changing for me. Wish me luck…
