sending you love and positive vibes, Neesy. I was unemployed for all of 2016...but then everything turned around and is awesome. You'll be okay.
Vampire Lily! Good to see you again - it's been a long time - glad to hear that everything is now going well for you :joyous::thumbs_up::star:

Nessy wishing you all the best in this uncertain time.

Thinking of you today, Neesy. :love_heart:

Fingers crossed for you, Neesy.
I've been on both sides of this. One time I (figuratively) cut a couple of throats to save myself (because I absolutely couldn't afford to be laid off), another time I hopped on my sword (to save the job of a newly-single mom who needed the wage and was happier there than I could ever be, even though I was the one management wanted to retain).
Then of course there was the time I had no choice and no chance because I was on the bottom rung and had been the most recent hire. Yeah, that was fun, getting canned shortly before my 18th birthday.

Neesy, I'll be thinking of you, my friend.

Wish I had all you guys voting for me today - I appreciate the support. One way or another it sounds like changes will be taking place. Of course it is possible that nobody went after my job after all - guess time will tell - I'll find out in about three hours.
