Another Round of Layoffs – Too Close to Home…
My husband’s company has reduced their workforce by about 70-80% from the peak. He’s been fortunate to survive and, since things had calmed down a bit, we got comfortable. We participated in weddings, did little remodel jobs, and went out to dinner a few times.
That was a mistake.
Today, my husband’s co-worker was laid off and another was reduced to part-time without benefits. It looks like less than a 3 month count down until my husband gets the axe.
I am terrified.
At this point, since we had to clear out part of our savings, we can only last 8 weeks without his paycheck.
That number sends a terrifying chill through my bones.
I’m focusing on the good though:
1. He still has a job today.
2. I lost my job last year and we survived.
3. We’re both healthy.
4. The new seasons of Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy have started.
It’s all about priorities.
