So we got the news today that the much touted position that is supposed to be several layers above me has been put on hold by senior management. The company now has a hiring freeze, and with those of us still in the company, our future is uncertain. There are extreme budget cuts and labor (people) cuts. Already I noticed that some departments had slowly and quietly eliminated some people on their team. You would only find out about this after your email comes back bounced. This bothers me greatly. I don't love the job but I don't want to lose it, and you all know my overhead costs are way too high right now and the possibility of moving to a new job very slim. Not only for me for anyone. The country is going through a strange deficit.
I have to certainly begin to curtail my expenditures. I have to stop buying clothes, shoes, personal effects, stop going out on meaningless dates, and for meaningless drinks. Things have got be tightened so we can make room for whatever may come. My boss hinted today that it may be about 4 -6 weeks before we can find out what is going on with our future. Right now the bosses are in Miami (yes Miami, one of the most expensive cities in America) deciding how to cut and trim the budget since the business is somewhat slow. Why did they have to travel to Miami and be put up at the Ritz Carlton to decide this? I don't know. Maybe the MIami weather will help them clear their heads and feel better about the people cuts.
Moving on...top ten reasons why something needs to work out in my life, asap? I may loose my job.
