Day Two: Workforce Vibe?

[SuperiorDG]

So here it is day two. What's going on out there in the workplace? Has anyone had "the meeting" yet? It seems that people are scared about their jobs. I track my website hits and since Monday they have really dropped off and the phone is not ringing like it usually does. Are people going to stop spending any money until thing level out and get better?

I'm sure if most of America is having those "meetings" things are going to come to a halt for awhile.

If this keeps up I think we will see a big jump in unemployment.

Pretty slow where I work. We usually brang in $2500 a day on average in the past, our best day ever was 12k this summer but for the last month our average has been only about $800 and I also had a black guy come in yesterday browsing around and finally he comes up with a 7 dollar item and he says I should give it to him since obama won, I said maybe you can just give me 7 dollars and I'll keep the item.

Good comeback.

Irv & Rutha,

Actively hiring where? What kinds of positions?

[SuperiorDG]

It's good to hear there is hiring going on.
