[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 297348, member: 1233"] husband's company just walked someone out of the building yesterday. He has a meeting he thinks may mean he gets laid off today. He is on a team that creates proposals that drive business INTO the company. He just got a $200 bonus for work he did on one project. These have been coming steadily for the last 18 months. What has ME steamed is this: THEY HAVE NEW HIRES THEY ARE BRINGING INTO THE FIRM THIS VERY WEEK!!!!! How can they lay someone off who just had an excellent review and gets bonuses regularly and drives business into the firm? He and one other guy are the only two in his department. The other guy has NO skills with photoshop and does not know how to update the company website. husband does ALL of that. Photoshop is important when creating proposals. Just last month they wanted him to plan a brown bag lunch seminar to be given in October. If they lay him off as tey show new hires around that will be a real insult. And he is NOT at the higher levels of pay or even at the highest pay for his particular bracket. So what the heck is the meeting in an hour about? I just have this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. [/QUOTE]
