I'm not sure I've ever been this drunk before..
I know that many people out there are dealing with things far worse than me, and I'm not trying to pretend like in the grand scheme of things I a m as bad off as others, but...
After over six months of constantly screwing employees by taking more and more away, today I found out that I'll be facing pay cuts as well.
I know that's not as bad as people who are still out of work, but i can't lie - it still really hurts me. I just put a deposit on a new partment, I have dental surgery that I need ot have and all kinds of obligations, and now I don't know how any of that will go...
I don't even know how bad the cut will be yet. They announced it, then didn't give specifics. I've been stressed all day long and they haven't said anything.
Like I said, I know this isn't as bad as what some people face, but dammit.. I can't help it, it really makes me sad. I was so looking forward to FINALLY moving out of this shit hole into what felt more like a home, and now I dont know if I'll even be able to do that...
I just feel sad today.

2. Don'cha love it when they announce something drastic without specifics? |
|
On April 1st, the owner of the three-store pharmacy chain for which I work announced that he had sold the company to Brooks. The other two stores would become Brooks Pharmacies during the first week of May, while my store would close soon after that. But not to worry! Those of us in the closing store would be offered positions with Brooks. Too bad Brooks didn't know that.
When I and two co-workers went to the Brooks informational meeting, they didn't know who the fuck we were. In fact, they didn't even know that the company they just bought had a third store! Needless to say, there were no new jobs waiting for us.
But wait! Perhaps my store won't close after all. Not ne, not two, but three separate people have approached the owner with offers to buy the place and keep it open. So a month goes by and we hear nothing. Then, hallelujah! It looks like the store will indeed be sold, and my co-workers and I won't become unemployed after all. So who's buying the store? Well, they really can't tell us yet.
Another month goes by, during which time the scuttlebutt is that two of the potential buyers have bitten the dust. What about the third? Nobody knows! So, will we continue to have jobs or won't we? Nobody knows!
Nothing like having your whole fucking life up in the air, huh? :grr::nuke:

3. How are the executives and stockholders doing financially? |

If they are doing great, start kicking up shit and raising hell.
