Thanks to GM for dragging their azz on the new Camaro and Hummer I have no work. We have been waiting since June of 07 for them to give us the PO to build on these. They keep telling us that it will be "this week or next, max".. WTFE...
In the last 6 months the shop I work for has gone from a 75 man shop to now 19. I was kind of shocked that I got let go and kind of not. I'm the 2nd highest paid in my office (the only higher is my boss) and I'm married, no kids and my wife makes more then I do on a 40 hour week. Where as the other designer has 3 kids, a wife, and he's the only one with a job.
I have a call back date 2 weeks out but if the work comes in I will go back early. Same goes the other way. If it does not come in, I wont be going back.
Thinking I'm going to spend a few days just cleaning the house from top to bottom and enjoying the homebrew and then if I have not heard anything I will start looking for something new.
So now I would like to thank you all for paying your taxes... I'm living on them now.
I do have an app in at The New Holland Brewery (was looking for a part time)... Maybe I'll be stopping out there and see if they need any help.
