Yesterday was officially called "bloody Monday". 71,400 people were layed off from their jobs. Companies such as Circuit City, Barnes & Noble, Google, Sprint, Caterpillar, Home Depot, Intel, Microsoft, Boeing, Motorola, Hertz, Ethan Allen, Honda, Texas Instruments, Clear Channel, William Sonoma, Conoco Phillips, Walgreen's, Macy's, Warner Brother, Saks Fifth Avenue and EXPEDIA were just a few that were mentioned.
As of Friday January 30th I will be one of the thousands that are being layed off. Expedia is no longer hiring and the woman whom I've been filling in for while on maternity leave is coming back.
I'm keeping my head up! I've got a lot of competition out there now but I WILL find a job. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and it always works out one way or another. Keep your fingers crossed folks!
On a lighter or should I say heavier note.....McDonald's sales are up 80% from last year. People really do love to eat when their stressed.
