I walk in and everyones all somber. My boss is there, usually hes in the dallas office while I work in the mansfield office.
I find out they let the comptroller go and 1 finance guy, and at the end of this week 1 AR person goes.
Now the company I work for supplies porta toilets to the construction industry. Florida and California offices lost over 6 million bucks in the first quarter. Those offices are decimated. They are consolidating the offices in those states and we are laying off between 50-100 pple combines out of those two states. Denver and phoenix are reshuffeling and expecting job losses aswell. Texas is the only state thats making money at the moment for the company.
I get called into my bosses office. I am CS supervisor. He tells me the grime news I mentioned above and says that texas cant keep the whole company afloat like it did last year. So thats why we are cutting back. He tells me the only positions safe at the moment are the AP pple and the CS department (all 3 of us including myself). and if it does not stabilize soon we may have to consolidate the texas offices, DFW, Austin and Houston.
Man, for an office full of Obamabots, when I made the comment that we can thank O for this crap, you could of heard a pin drop. No rebuttal, no nothing. 1 person tried to blame Bush and I told her to shut up and grow up. Bush has not done a thing for 7 months, this is all Os fault.
If it weren't so sad I would be rolling on the ground laughing. When I asked the comptroller how that change is working out for him now, if looks could kill. Oh well, hes an eagles fan in the middle of Cowboy country anyways.
It sucks, I cant really gloat in their misery as they are all generally good pple, but to see the recognition that O did this to them, after they all voted for him. PRICELESS. just so bitter sweet. I cant enjoy it at all. This really sucks.
