This Manufacturing Plant Is Closing

[rah]

It never hurts is correct. I hired someone I met through this site.

[Patroklos]

You're still young enough to enlist, right?

Heck my cousin who's in his 50's just got recalled. And believe it or not, he was a logisitics officer for the Navy.

[Ben Kenobi]

Sorry to hear Sloww & Ben.

Eh, I still have work. I've been working several jobs for the last 4 months, but my primary one with the store is gone.

I wish now I had hired someone from here on Poly, instead of the hosebags my boss hired. They were supposed to do the web development and build an online store so my boss could sell the majority of his inventory (roughly 5000 items). They did nothing for 4 months, so my boss cancelled the project as well as my job.

I still have all the files available (pictures and writeups), so if in the future, he's willing to start it up again, I'd be interested in hearing from folks who could do the job.

Yeah, I lost my job to consultants too, although I'm sure they had far more impressive-sounding titles than those at your old company (and charged a lot more each hour - we had a meeting that one of the consultants attended and she didn't say anything in three hours).

[Ben Kenobi]

Sorry to hear that Duke. My uncle does that consulting racket, quite enjoys it.

Heck, if I could find the financing I'd finish the project myself for a portion of the proceeds. The store is quite profitable and going online will easily pay back everyone's investment.

Slow:

1. What's your long and short term geographic flexibility.

2. We often need good planners/schedulers at my plant and I'm sure you'd be great here (and like it). However, they are basically moving people around to try to keep firings to a minimum (so there are few outside openings...I think we have a freeze on external hires).

3. Good luck.

Sorry Sloww

As a veteran you get extra consideration for any Federal jobs, so you should look into government work.

Unfortunately a lot of federal agencies are in hiring freezes due to budgetary constraints (such as mine).

Sorry to hear that, Sloww. Good luck finding work, and enjoy the Civving in the meanwhile

[SlowwHand]

At the moment, I have no plans of any kind. For a planning personality, that sucks.

[Barnabas]

Sorry slow, I hope you find a new job soon.
Unemployement is ugly, in Argentina we had peaks of 18% and 25% in 1995 and 2002.

Once the crisis hits bottom, the recovery comes fast, long agonic crises are the problem.
Have faith in Obama, lets hope he does the right things. This is affecting the whole world.

[DaShi]

How close are you to retirement/social security?

Sorry, Sloww. If you're open for temp work, I have some connections in TX.

[SlowwHand]

I'm open to working.

I'm not close enough, DaShi.

I like money.
