Just a thought, but in England it is illegal for a Boss to do that and you could object to that through a solicitor or someone.
Very mean. Elle |
Sorry to hear this,Chris, but you will be able to enjoy(?) the nice weather, and get some sewing done.....
My son was downsized in Dec., and the also brought in people that were 1/2 of his salery. |

I think only a quilter can see the logic between Welding and Sewing. |

So sorry to hear that you have been laid off from work. Keep your chin up & think positive - something may well turn up unexpectantly, you know how when your not looking sometimes that door of opportunity appears. Keeping you in my thoughts. My job also looks very bleak. I am currently looking for alternative work too. Tisha |

1) Start your job hunt now, not when your unemployment runs out. Your job right now is to 'find a job.' With the market like it is, it may take some time and you may find yourself headed in a new direction. You may not find anything making the money you make now. Chances are though, it will pay more than unemployment. 2) Don't get discouraged. These things take time. It's easier to do when you are not completely without income. You'll also interview better while you still have the unemployment safety net - it's an attitude thing. Hang in there! This too is an opportunity .... the hardest thing I have ever had to teach the kids is: The only limit is your imagination ... |
Best of everything in your new venture! :lol:

I don't really have any words of advice other than what has been posted already, but I can say I'm sorry.
I've always wanted to learn upholstery. Good luck if that's where this takes you! |
I'm glad you're okay financially. It's probably better this way anyway, maybe you'll find a job you enjoy, in the meantime you can be getting quilts done.

Sorry to hear your news. It sounds like you have a great attitude about it.
