Gonna try to make this short, Friday at lunch time we got called bk to the office, Unbeknown to us our boss had plans. After eating she said she needed to have a Lil meeting, SO she handed us our checks and the three of us ( her only 3 employees, other then the lead carpenter) were informed that as of 11/21/07 we were no longer going to have a job. We were being layed off until at least after the first of year, But no definite call Back date. Talk about perfect timing

I am so sorry to her that. Why is it that it seems to happen at this time of the year? I have a few budies that are going through the same thing. It sounds very similar to yours, you know small company. One of my buds got laid off two weeks ago. Whats sad is, the boss told him he needed to cut back because his kids cristmas was going to be to tight. Heaven forbid, now we can't have that, now can we!!!

How hard will it be to find another up there?

Thanks for the encouragement , Job hunting here is very rough. esp. this time of year. According to my boss, she is reconstructing the company, and she feels is she keeps the 3 of us working her holiday will suck. Well HELLO, i got layed off for the month of Oct. now getting the ax again. People with that self centered attitude just rub me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, we all need to look out for our family's, BUT being Greedy just doesn't cut it. Sorry for running off again, I'm just not really impressed.
