what a day

[mr_will]

I think my company seriously oversold itself and now some of us are paying for it because couple of us got laid off today, 4 in the last week to be exact. It sucks but life goes on. The new ops manager they hired is about to screw this company and I actually feel bad for the owner. It was a great company until that idiot got his hands in it.
I have a couple of contacts for jobs and see how those pan out. And meeting someone next week with a company that I have worked with on some contracts.
Anyone need a IT or Low Voltage guy??

blah, goin to take it easy for a couple days, I need the break anyway

I feel your pain brother, hang in there!

well I think its goin to all work out. Lately have had a few calls from companies.
I have a job if i want it, I honestly think I am going to turn it down. The money sucks infact is the least amount of money I have ever made since HS. I turned it down once and they called me back, I said ok I will come pick up the paper work. I was reading the handbook deal before I filled out any paper work, well this place is right accross from a large pool hall/night club type place. I will be working nights, only 2 people on shift, well the handbook prohibits ANY weapons on property even in my truck including pocket knives. So on that alone I think I will pass. Thats just ridiculous to me.

I have a 6 month contract offer as well that pays decent and is actually in Pueblo local to to me instead of driving to springs. And have a few short term contracts just incase.

So in the end its going to work out, back to buying toys.

I can barely wrap my mind around that, and I work in Boulder.

Even back in Chicago, where you can't buy or own a handgun in the entire county unless you're mil or PD, you can carry knives. I started wearing a one-hand opening SOG lockback on a horizontal belt holster after a sketchy pizza delivery once. I doubt I've gone long without carrying at least a folding knife of some kind since, and that was.... carry the nine.... 17 years ago?

Best of luck finding work elsewhere.

Colorado is a 'right to work' state, so they can fire you for any reason. You can either agree to the employment terms or find another job. There's no shitstorm.
