Scary News

Tonight Ken came home and we had our normal discussion about how his day went. And normally his response is alright, but tonight it was "shitty". I asked why he said because he had a mandatory meeting letting people know that Miller Electric is firing as well as laying off a bunch of workers due to the economy. Fortunetly, it wasn't him yet, but some of the guys that have been there 20-30 years got fired some of which Ken knows. A bunch of factory workers got laid off as well.

Ken still isn't out of the woods, it's just the first round of layoffs etc. Please keep our family in your prayers!

Just always keep in mind that you are not indispensible! Never take for granite what you have.

Have a good night.

Jen...I COMPLETELY understand what you are going through!! This happened and IS happening with my husband's company. His job is safe (for right now) and like Ken's there were many many friends of Mike's that have been there just as long as Mike or even longer and were let go! It's like I wrote on my blog...it's bittersweet! You're happy that your husband's job was spared but unhappy about all your friends and their families having to go through this. Especially during the holiday season! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
