The ax falls on Friday.

[longbow]

The company I am working for is not wasting any time to make cuts in light of the new taxes and mandates.

I wonder which room I get to go to?

Update: I'm now looking for a new employer. The good news is I already had some feelers out. It should not be long.............

Good luck to you.

Regardless of what happens, keep yer head high and don't give up.

I'm worried about the younger coworkers. I could use a vacation. My wife would keep me busy with projects at the homestead while I look for another job.

Storage D. Watch out for roaches.

In all seriousness, good luck. I hope you company is honest about the cuts, and doesn't try to sugar coat it.

We are all hoping the boss of my boss gets axed, and then axed again. To him, TEAM is spelled IIII !

private or public company?

my company is public, which stings less when they are matching stock options.
part of my 401k. about 15% of my investments are in our stock, however i -can- fully decide where my money goes.

i'm assuming, since your employer is having to make tough decisions, that you're a part of a small business.
start asking questions. ask why. ask your employer why, then shove your questions/complaints to your congressman.

The company has about 2,200 employees.

I have an email asking to make sure I bring my laptop to work on Friday. The email was sent at 5 am this morning.

Is this how you are drafted into the FSA?

The same thing happened to me about a year ago after working the same place for 32 years. Just take life one day at a time. Good luck.

Company I was working for made overhead cuts at first of year. All contract workers gone including me. To pay for Obamacare expenses?

Sorry to hear this. Any good reason not to post the Co's name? 27K members might be able to help, or at least get even.

No need, most of the people are good people.

I hope so!

My wife went through this in 2006. Never rebounded.
Hope for the best to you and those displaced by Barry and his socialist agenda.

With my down time, I have been playing project manager at home. I've be able to get some contractors to do some work that is needed that I really don't want to do.

They jumped at a chance to work. I did not know how little work was being done in construction. One showed up on Monday and the other spent the day working today.
