XChris1632X Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Chase whacked 10% of the entire IT field back in October. They cut more than that previously. Their target were the higher paid personell and my step fathers job was hacked back in June but someone slightly above him "created" a position for him but that only lasted until Aug. He is on a 6 month pension that ends next month and still cant find a job for even half of what he was making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 so you guys want to start a website? maybe make us rich at the expensive of others? Porn? I'm in with camera in hand Personally, I'm keeping my options open and resume and history brushed up as there's no telling in todays market what could happen to who next. Hell, last December I was recruited out of a good job, given the offer of a lifetime, was doing great and then in August got cut!....doing well now, but hell, I won't feel secure for a long while.

SPLN SUX Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 One of my shift managers quit a few weeks ago, and the that night, his wife was laid off from Walmart. Dumb shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenny Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 No salaried employee will be getting a raise where I work. They chose that instead of layoffs. Which sucks for our department, since we cleared a good amount of profit and won the presidents award last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
