Tired

I am both tired of campaigns and tired of doing employee reviews. I'm also tired of waiting to hear about layoffs.

We're losing 19 to 20 people as of the first week in December. It's like I work in a funeral home these days. People are walking around trying not to get noticed and also spending all their time NOT working and instead guessing who will get laid off. I've suggested we start a layoff pool where we all stick a dollar in for our guesses.

Our company's stock fell by half in the third quarter from last year to this. So our corporate overlords won't have to cut back on the number of yachts they own, they're jacking up the employee portion of healthcare costs (resulting in many employees dropping their healthcare all together - something I'm debating on doing if I'm even around) and, of course, dropping the employees altogether.

I'll see you all in the rice lines.
