NBR work requested LWOP

I am so nervous now. We just got an email that requested that all employees take up to 36 hours of leave without pay by the end of the year. And there may have to be lay offs. I am so scared of being laid off. I don't think it will happen to me but it is still not a good thing to hear. I emailed my manager to ask if I still have to do LWOP since I took all of June July and Aug without pay while I was on Maternity leave.

Ugg... please send me good work vibes.

Re: NBR work requested LWOP

  • Sad I hope things work out for you Annette.  It's such a scary economy right now.  Hang in there!  If you have to do the LWOP, can you at least choose the days you stay home?  Like once a paycheck until the end of the year?  That might not make as big of a difference to the paycheck as 4 days all at once?

    It is a scarey economy - and I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

  • I use to work at a company that would request that almost every year.  It was so irritating.  And then even after that, they would have lay offs.  I hope you don't have to.  It seems that 3 months more than covers 36 hours.

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.
  • Oh yikers!  My dad had to do that (before he retired) occasionally, but they would shut his entire company down for the week.  He got to collect unemployment when they did that.  Maybe you could look in to that, just in case?  Otherwise, if you get to feeling things are iffy, look around on Expedia and see if there's anything you like.  M can refer you, plus you may still have some connections there!  I will keep my fingers crossed for you though!!!  I hope it all works out.  The travel biz is really tough right now.  I get to hear about it every night at dinner.  :(
