Sorry to hear it - hang in there!

Troy · 5 March 2009, 09:31 AM

Thanks people I will just have to go back to plumbing or pipefitting instead of selling the stuff. Others being laid off has no other skills they will be harder off than I.

karmatp · 5 March 2009, 09:39 AM

It is really starting to hit home. I have a couple of family members who lost their jobs and I now know of a few friends who have lost or are close to losing their jobs, it's such a shame. Best of luck Troy with your search, sorry to hear the bad news.

Art 1 · 5 March 2009, 10:07 AM

Sorry to hear.

Brunotheboxer · 5 March 2009, 10:34 AM

Even though I don't know you I am sorry this happened. Try to stay positive.

East Bay Rider · 5 March 2009, 10:40 AM

That's really unfortunate. Good luck.

Carolina · 5 March 2009, 10:45 AM

Good luck, Troy - stay positive.

jmjm · 5 March 2009, 11:58 AM

Hang in there.....

clenz · 5 March 2009, 12:10 PM

It is getting bad out there! Everyday I'm worried if I will be in the next round of layoffs. Last week I had to fire my entire team - worst day I've had in a long time.
It's this kind of insecurity that is causing a lot of people to put off buying nice watches (or cars, or houses....). You just never know when the axe will fall.

Good luck.

JimSnyder · 5 March 2009, 12:30 PM

I'm right there with ya Troy. Hopfully things will get better. Just about all my friends and family members have been affected in one way or another. Good luck I belive that better things come from these times

Sounds like a plan. Could you set up your own plumbing company?
