Just got a call from the HR idiot at a company that I have been at since last May.
Love the way they tell you. They tell you stuff you already know about why they are cutting you lose.
Had I been given a disclosure statement about the company's finances when I interviewed I would not have spent the 2K to relocate 200 miles or signed a 1 year lease on a pad.
The company has not been on time with payroll since October, they have had several property's repossessed, like Mitt Romney would not pay for traveling employees hotel stays when they were on the road because the credit card declined at check out.
Two months ago they hired three people who lived more than 1500 mile away and three days after their start they were let go.
Tonight I am considering my options. I am, hoping that Oregon Worksource has retraining programs for dislocated workers as I think it is time to change direction. I will be making phone calls tomorrow.
Thanks in advance for your concern.
