To everything - turn, turn, turn
There is a season - turn, turn, turn
And a time for every purpose under heaven
Why am I posting that?
Well......My company announced back in December that there would be 1,000 employees laid off. The layoffs were slow, and steady.
I was a member of a commercial lending team of 10 people.
In Dec., two of them were moved to another team, bringing us to 8. A third was told that he'd be reporting to another team leader, bringing us to 7. Our team leader was then assigned to two teams, so his time with us was split in half. 1 retired yesterday, giving us 5. Today, one was laid off, giving us 4. The remaining 4 were told to be on a conference call at 3pm. When the call was over, we found one of us would be staying where we are now, but for another team. The remaining 3 (including me) will be transferring to a new location.
It is the same travel time for me from my house.
I will have my two friends with me, but I've been here for 2 years now, and made a bunch of new friends. I'm going to miss them.
However, I should consider myself lucky. I still have a job.
Not putting a downer on the party here, just getting it off my chest!
Now....back to the dancing!
