“Unexpected”?
A real bummer isn’t it?
Amidst all that Mom passed away, hunting for a job, caring for Dad to transition to an assisted living complex, and closing out the final chapter in rescuing my eldest Daughter from an abusive marriage.
Clear your garden space for next year, if you haven't already planted one this year! It's gonna be a different world. I do believe! Buy a self-contained RV, if you can. Get a big propane tank or two, and lots of lead!
Yeah. Homelessness has also disappeared.
Sadly, mine is not a lay-off - it’s a corp reorg, and my position being eliminated nationwide. I got lots of notice, and have been looking for longer than I knew this was coming. The Obama economy, and job market flat out sucks.
We should start a Freeper over/under pool. How long after a dismal figure is released before the Administration calls it “unexpected”.
I want $5 on three femtoseconds.
!
I want $5 on it starting with unexpected before the numbers are released:
“Unexpected news on employment was released today...”
If they hadn’t exteneded UI benefits I’d be in a world of hell now. They better do it again in Nov and the Reps better not fight it. Stupid issue to worry about now when things are SO bad and probably going to stay this way until 2012 at least.
Unexpected and this administration are synonymous.
The republicans tell the democrats to pay for it. Thats all.
A friend of mine told me when layoffs occur at his company (a pharma company), a person gets called down to HR, process the paperwork and then are escorted out the door. Your belongings are then ‘collected’ and mailed (UPS or Fed Ex) to you. How horribly degrading. I'm wondering if this is a trend.
Liberals aren't much on even the most glaringly obvious consequences:
I've been in the habit of pulling up beside idjits with Impeach Bush bumper stickers and complementing them.
When they'd 'right on!' me I'd blandly say 'Yeah! I think Cheney'd make a fine president, too!'
In response to their horrified looks, I'd even more blandly say 'Well, if you impeach Bush, you get Cheney. Don't you liberals ever think through the consequences of any of your actions???
The Republicans didn’t “fight it.” They just said it had to be offset by cuts in the deficit elsewhere. I’m sure there a lot of bureaucrats who don’t want to be laid off either in California in elsewhere but you can’t just roll over and go ever deeper into debt every time someone’s ox is being gored.
Got called down to HR, process the paperwork and then escorted back to the work site to collect my physical and any personal electronic/data stuff.
Very true, I actually had seen a Gore sticker the other day. Good Grief.
God Bless! Thanks for the information.
It’s happening at random around our company. We have seen those with 5 years up to 30 getting let go. We are in the power consumption industry and growing. It is hard to understand. I am sorry to hear of this for you. May God find a clear path for you.
Well I suppose the liberals could have made a similar joke on you if you’d had an “Impeach Clinton” bumper sticker on your care in the late 1990s. In retrospect, I’d prefer a President Clinton over a President Gore any day of the week....but that was not necessarily true of the left.
Both parties have accepted the job sucking sound of unbalanced free trade. We have to make more of what we import regardless of who is President. When both parties continue to need hearing aids, it is time for another Third Party 'Ross Perot' whose big ears heard the job sucking sound a long time ago.
