Well...... for the last 4 1/2 years I bust my butt to work my way up the latter. I started as a welder and under 2 years I worked my way up too Second shift foreman. And after all my hard work I got the shaft today. They say that the company is going through hard times. Why? becausethey are almsot giving the product away. 6 months ago the cost of steel went up 75% and the price for a disesl tank didn't go up. So after 6 months of loosing their ass the idea to let me go along with 9 others to make up for thier F-up.

 

Dude that sucks!! My company did some lay off at the beginning of the year. I knew a couple of good guys that got shafted. Are they going to at least have a severance package for you?

 

No. the most i get is the remander of my pto and insu. till the end of oct.

 

Make sure you collect unemployment...

 

I;m not worried about unemployment I most likely have another job before it would kick in.

 

And get a under the table job. lol. That's what I used to do whenI worked construction and was off winters. This guy I knew paid me 15 dollars an hour cash to plow roads and lots with his truck.

 

Sorry to hear it Jeremy. Good luck upgrading into the next job though. Hopefully it comes soon.

 

Sucks sad.gif Good luck with a new job smile.gif

 

Thanks guys. After me and the wife talked she thinks it is for the best, she think I was being held back over worked uder paid. I am planning on going back into welding full time and layoff the supervisor stuff for a while. It has been quite some time since I got a check with some OT on it.

 

Sorry about your luck. Hopefully you find something else soon.
