I lost my job last Thursday....9-11...as if that wasn't a depressing enough day as it was.
They called us in for a meeting...the factory I have worked at for over 14 years....I was 23 when I started...will be 38 next month...is closing end of November. So very very sad.
I don't know how long I will have my job....they are going to start moving out machines from different areas of the factory....depending on what area we work in, and what machines go out first...I could go any time between next week or the end of November.
I spent all of Thursday night bawling and drinking....didn't make it to work at all on Friday....of course part of that was due to my Doctor's Apt for the lump I found, that I told everyone about here in the lounge last week...I'm sure some of you read it, so won't go into detail again here.
Hanging in there...trying to think positive....but not sure what the h*ll I am going to do....I can't afford to be jobless....and there are NO jobs in this area.
14 years is a long time...and I don't know how to do anything else....I don't even remember anything else.
Brent has actually been quite decent through this... he has hugged me and told me we will get by somehow...and has asked me almost daily how the lump is...and if it has gone down, or doesn't hurt so much. He has actually been very kind.
What pisses me off the most.......and here I go...so please forgive me..................
My factory would not have shut down if it wasn't for the cheap labor in OTHER countries!!!! HALF my job went to Mexico...and some of it (one of our biggest customers)...took their business to China.....because they could have their products made so much cheaper there...because of the cheap labor. These are AMERICAN companies......taking jobs away from AMERICANS...because they can get it done cheaper in some other country.....EEEERRRRRGGGGGG....what the h*ll do they think they are doing to the American economy?????? THIS is why our freakin' jobless rate is SO high here!!!!!!
It should be ILLEGAL for American companies to go outside of America...thus taking millions of jobs away from America...just because they can have their products made in some other country who pays their workers a dollar per hour!!!!!! So they save some money...but in the long run...America suffers!!!!!!!!
