Chickens with No Heads

The continuing panic in the economy his hitting here. My boss called me in yesterday to say that he needed to cut a writing head - and there are only two of us. Has to make his decision within a couple weeks. Looking at flexibility where I can - reduce hours or whatever. It would hurt, to be sure, but I'd still be employed.

Major stress here.

No wonder the CEO wouldn't look me in the eye in the office yesterday.

I am so sorry! What a terrible time of year to hear this...and how stressful! Remember to breathe and know that everything will be alright (different, maybe, but alright:-) LT

Yes, there's something about this time of year. It's only a year ago that everyone was called into a room at the *last* company and told that the guaranteed funding had fallen through. Desks were cleared out pretty much by end of day. I hope you manage to ride out this storm in some sort of harbor. I'll be thinking of you...

Oh no! I am so sorry. How totally stressful and deja vu!
