I'm still here for now. 15% were cut or furloughed.
Pay cut for management didn't affect me
COO is visiting today
That's a relief. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

I need you to do me one big favor though. Can you tell one of the laid off (white) factory workers I have a new lit gaming PC?

Just run up and tell one "Macbeth said to tell you he has a new computer" without any context whatsoever.

uziq might disagree with that statement.

Everyone out is already gone. There's a plan ready for wave 2 if needed dunno who is on that. Straight up asked where my place on the list was no answer.

Seriously though that's awful. Do you have an idea what you would do?

You should apply to be a cop. They never have layoffs.

Nah, I enjoy what I do while it lasts. Making pretty charts and telling people why they suck with no consequence.

Cops have almost no consequences and get to make people's whole life suck.

In the #MeToo thread I explicitly condoned a lesbian relationship.

Half my job seems to be trying to keep everyone calm, and I'm not exactly a calm person.

Things seem to be looking up for Dilberts of the world, there are more jobs every day, people are bobbing up sending me job details in their companies.

you’ve been moaning about your job for about four years, bragging about how employable and desirable you are, and yet you still haven’t left. why? it’s not like you have a family or home or some huge commitment that’s tying you in place. you could take a job anywhere. you’ve been pissing and moaning for half a decade!

Engineering and manufacturing have been beaten down over the last 10-20 years, people have woken up to what China has been up to and how stupid the west has been about it and with luck it will rebound.

I did leave a while back, I'm doing contract work at present - fewer hours for more money.
One of my former managers let me back in to clean out some of the surplus equipment, which was nice of him.
I now have an industrial laser and enough parts to make 3-4 heavy duty robots in my shed.

I fully expect to end my days as a J F Sebastian character, almost certainly crushed to death between the mechanical thighs of a cyborg sex-bot.

i see, make sense.

yes, contract work sounds best. freelancing and independence are worth a lot, if you can do it.

one of the least disputatious things you've ever said on this forum.

Contract work is especially good for all you folks who live in countries with universal Healthcare

Yes, we're not locked to an employer by the threat of not being able to go to the doctor.
