I was just informed that I still have my job. We did lose 3 in our group. Two made sense and one was a shock. I know plenty of others are still concerned. Hard day here. 4951

Glad to hear you survived.
 
It's really getting bad out there. We did manage to pick up a couple of jobs this past week and I'm able to keep a handful of people working stateside.
 
Work overseas is also starting to see the low oil price affects as well.
 
Hope the oil companies figure out what to do with the excess oil soon.
 
Continued good luck. 4951

Very happy for you. I know it's hard to be relieved and happy but also sad for team members. 4951

@donnatella:
 
I'm not even happy. I am relieved. I'm still unnerved and upset for my co-workers. I really hate the unsettling feeling. I know it will get back to normal but still.
@wjo I have never been on unemployment before but I did look into it just to see how much you get. They have an online calculator. I would be eligible for the highest amount granted which would not even cover my mortgage and basic utilities, not to mention gas, food, you know the very basics. I see how people lose their house if they have nothing in savings. 4951

@Francita:  I'm glad you made the cut.   Did the company give any kind of severance package to those they cut?  How soon will the cut people have to leave?  Usually, when staff reductions take place, they let the people go that day.  4951

I've heard they give a nice severance package. I don't know the specifics. 4951

@francita....I know it is difficult but it can be done, you just have to budget & cut lot's of corner's . I was laid off once & it was terrible , but I took in baby sitting & done ironing for other people & some how I made it through 7 months of being laid off . I was very happy when they finished remodeling our offices & called all of us back to work . I had a mortgage & all the other things that come with owning a house & being a single parent.  But we made it & now when I  look back on the tough times we had  I realize how great my life is now . 4951
