I'm scared I might get laid off

soom2007

Well my company just laid off 8 people today.  9 people were laid off last November.

Don't think the company is doing well.

This sucks.

No company in this economy is doing well!

GL to you.  Maybe start sending out applications/resumes now, just in case it happens soon.

I hear you.  I was just laid off!

I work for an investment company (think Legg Mason, T. Rowe Price, ETrade)...

Well, they're trying hard not to lay off, but the economy is not in our favor. They've done as much as to cut the temperatures down in the building to save money.

Guess we just gotta pray.

Well you made the cut today! Think?positive!

I lost my job in Oct and I was just called for an interview last week.  I am 26 weeks pregnant and it was the most uncomfortable situation to go in there and say I can work for you for three months but then I would like 3 months off to stay with my newborn.  I am sure I will be sitting by the phone waiting for their call.   The sad thing also is with these companies 3 months is typically their probation period so I am screwed either way.  I know some places  require you to work there a year before you are eligible for maternity leave.

I'm sure I'm going to get laid off this year. I'm sure of it!

I got laid off on New Years Eve, when I was 11 wks. Still looking, but not looking great. (8.4% unemployment in our state) Try to stay positive though, and maybe go ahead and start putting feelers out.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!
