Today our Company is laying off between 60 - 70 employee's in their I/S Dept., which includes my husband. We are so stressed with waiting to see if he is one of them. Please keep your fingers crossed he makes it through this. If not, I don't know how we'll continue to care for the park cats.:(

I am praying for your Husband ,as I too have been downsized a few times and I know how tough that is , especially as no one wants to pay a decent wage anymore!

That's terrible. Our IT Dept, of which I'm a part of, is short-staffed. Would you consider moving??:) :) I would have thought that with IS skills the jobs would be endless but I guess I'm wrong. Prayers going out to you both.

Thank you ALL! This is just SO stressful. Move?? That might have to be an option considering he's the main bread winner here. My pay basically covers all the cat expenses and the extras. I will keep you all posted. It's 8:45 a.m. here and everyone in the dept. that is affected is suppose to know by noon.

Good luck to you and your husband. I know exactly the stress that you are experiencing as I have been through it a few times. The waiting is unbearable! I'll be thinking of you both.

I just now found this post. I'm so glad he survived the cut. But sometimes that can be a mixed blessing if he is supposed to take on additional responsibilities. (It's what has happened to my husband and has led to a lot of stress in our marriage :( ).

But still, congratulations, it must be such a relief. The park cats must be doing happy dances.:D

I actually gasped and then tear-ed up when I read this. (you know I've been praying for a while now). God does watch out for us. I could not be happier.
