Thank goodness for WalMart, where I can go and buy the SAME product cheaper, swear just checked out the MP3 players last weekend.
I for one am riding the storm out. I have to work, so until they give me a pink slip or shut the doors, I am hanging. Not to say I am not gonna dust off my resume to be prepared. Compared to what I personally have been through in the past year, this is small potatoes. I do promise this is not the worst thing that is going to happen in your life. Just keep doing the great jobs you all do, and it will all work out.
For those of you about to flame me for being a cheerleader, look at this way. If you hang in there when the times are tough, it will look that much better on your resume as a dedicated employee. There is no shortage of jobs out there, just look at the other boards alone, not to mention good old fashioned newspapers, and have you ever Googled? One thing I have done is started a little savings, instead of buying a takeout pizza, I toss some burgers on the grill and put the pizza money in savings. It adds up quickly.
Something my dear husband had always taught me, and I still hold tightly in my heart, was prepare for the worst and expect the best. Make the best of what you have. Little did he know how those words would carry his children and me through much tougher times than if a company is being sold.
Hang tough Team, don't let this get you down. |
