Code Red

Ugh...we are officially in code red at work! Not good.

I really am having a hard time coming up with something to say for this. I mean, first off, why tell us before Christmas and right before shut down? I understand you want to keep us informed but hell, how are we supposed to enjoy ourselves? It makes me wonder if layoffs will start after the shutdown is over. The "owner" said that he will do what he can to protect jobs at work, he can't protect all of the jobs though and of course he is correct. So as of right now the hiring freeze is still in affect along with the salary freezes, no raises and no 401k match at the end of this year. It is all okay with me seeing as I would much rather have a job! I don't know if my job will be in the first round of cuts, very possible, but I hope not. Well, things could be worse, we could all have jobs in banking..oh wait, didn't some of them get bailouts??
