On Thursday, the company I work for announced that we would be cutting 2,000 jobs and closing three plants. Very concerning for the 1,500 employees I am responsible for. My phone rang off the hook on Thursday. So, the economic problems come a little closer to home this week.
This coming week will be a tough week for everyone at work. Laying off people at any time is difficult, but the week before Christmas will be particularly difficult.
In order to protect the jobs of the majority to preserve the company's ability to be viable it is inevitable that actions like these need to take place.
A lot of families across a lot of business are going face a similar fate this week. Tough times.
