I didn't tell her off yesterday, but probably will go off on her since I went to my checking account and payroll NEVER hit today. I went from feeling a bit better last night to seeing freaking red today!

Hey! that is something to think about..

Hmmm...I'd have to go on a crash diet to be a stripper. But they do make good money, I think.

Sorry to hear you got laid off. I never understood companies that did that around the holidays. Bad enough the economy s*cks - but to do that around this timeframe just might make some go over the edge.

And it's not like some companies didn't know that they wouldn't lay off employees. I know some companies might have been waiting for a big contract or deal that might have gone south and thus I could see layoffs due to that. But if they are just laying off people in general, they knew for months and thus why not do it before the holidays.

Again, I never understood the logic of companies laying people during usually the more festive times of the year. I know that companies need to make money and all - but at least show some compassion too. Sadly company loyalty is not like our parents where you could work at a place for life.

It may have something to do with the tax season that is just around the corner. Less to claim so they get back more or don't have to pay so much.

My work is just hurting money-wise. The ridiculous way they spend and its all frivilously. It irritates me to see them use company money to take vacations, but then cry broke when it comes to paying their employees.
