It sucks here, My Dad and i are both unemployed.
I worked for a Restoration company dealing with floods and fires, usually insurance companies would pay for anything, now they are holding on to their money making what i thought would be a stable job not.

I have applied all over the place and have only had one call back.

 

We have had to let 3 guys at work go. The steel mill down here owes our comp over 100k, For a small company, thats alot. They arn't going to release the PO's to us till after the first of the year.. We have slowed down big time. Knock on wood I still have my job, but we cut back to a 4 day work week for a few weeks.. i have been selling the **** out of things on ebay and craigs list thowe.. It is going to get worse, but we will all pull threw it...

It's slow for us, sort of normal for this time of the year. But, I only know of one job on the books, which has to be finished in March. I've heard that we've turned down some jobs and lost some that we "though we had". Weird thing is that they hired 3 guys on my crew!?!?! (With only one big job on the books!!!) Must be something else in play or my obsevations are correct - company is stupid.

 

Were slowing down a tad at the machines shop......We should be ok till the end of the year

 

I'm freaking slammed at work. I work for a small Internet advertising company and our phone is exploding with customers calling because they are trying different methods of advertising since traditional print, TV, and radio is so expensive and everyone is looking to cut costs.

We are so busy I am actually turning away customers, working 7 am till 7 pm in the office then till 11 or 12 at home at night catching up on email.

Can't wait till the new year when everyone's budgets reset and we can really start raking in the dough.

 

were a few thousand dollars cheaper than other people that do what we do, weve actually gotten more work from other oil companies.. now were bout a week behind

 

Well I work for the government, go to school, and a ridiculous storm blew through a few months ago which got me into roofing, so all around business is good.

 

wife got an email on places not to buy a gift card for this christmas because they were not going to be around to use them.

 

Its a pretty good sized list too

 

yeah it was, most of it i have heard of but never shoped at.
