I've been with this company for 8 yrs. We were laid off for 2 weeks. I applied for unemployment, figuring that will give me time to find something better....which I did not find..so, had to go back...now their telling us that most of us left will be laid off permanently within a month.
I think thier trying to make us miserable so we just quit & go grab any old job. NOT ME...I'm gonna work every minute I can for the money until they tell me to leave...and I will reopen my unemployment case every time they do this (unless of coarse I find something better) Would you?

your doing the right thing...hang in there

What happened to the jobs? Did they outsource or close shop?

Yes, but I would keep searching for a better job in the meanwhile.

Milk them all you can, but be looking for a good job in the meantime for sure!

I am like you I would not leave until they kicked me out.

good luck to you.

Really look for that new job unemployment runs out faster then you think.

actually they are downsizing and merging with a collection company..kinda like out with the old and in with the new for our department

hope you find waht your looking for

there's lots of good jobs in Buffalo, as long as you're willing to settle for low pay and long hours.

yeah especially when they don't even have the b*lls to say anything until I stormed the managers office.

definately!
but still a little more time off sounds soooo nice

ty!

Right!
Thats why I haven't left yet but ,I'm really getting sick of the b.s.

what a coincidence...i love my job!

stay with it, you never know, you might be asked to stay onboard

thats good! I used to love mine until the new owner took over an f'd everything up....now the original owner is stepping back in and scrapping all of us (in a way I don't even care)

Yeah I'm hanging until they say otherwise...I'm not really leaving on bad terms when it happens...at least the manager leveled with me ....so I am sorta prepared.

My company closed in January 08; I'm on unemployment and still can't find a job
I'm scared and find myself slipping into days of depression (which I've never experienced before). Today, besides looking for a job, I cried most of the day because I fear losing everything I have -- apartment, car, etc. Recently, the local unemployment closed it's doors; it's that bad here in Yonkers, NY. But I'm grateful for the 2 great friends I have in my life who never let me go hungry and go a day without feeling loved.
Hold on to that job for as long as you can. I wish you luck babe.
