Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My boss used the word layoff in an email to us today. He is getting pressure from above to affect sales numbers that WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER. I am trying to stave off a panic attack.
I mean I could drop to 35 hours a week and be happy about that, but I can't really volunteer for that without it looking like I am working more than necessary now.
Good luck, msbelle. Layoffs are never fun even if you come out okay.
OTOH, getting laid-off turned out to be great for my career.
Yikes, msbelle!
I brought the laptop home last night because I had some work to finish up before morning. And then I decided to telework because I really didn't feel like putting on a bra.
I think that is a very sound reason to work from home, sarameg.
Not sure what I was thinking. 5 hours a week off my pay or really any of our pay would be a minuscule savings.
Woo, meara!
Go home, Jesse.
Good luck with the finger pleurisy, Dana.
Oy, msbelle. Good luck with that. You could maybe emphasize reduced duties/responsibilities to go with the reduced hours if you volunteer for that? IDK.
Man, there's a cooking thing on Tuesday that I would like to participate in but we have to not only say we're doing it but give them the recipe for what we are making by noon today. I don't think I can decide and commit by then.
Walter's all peppy this morning and seems to be walking straighter, so I'm confident that two weeks of this will help if not completely cure.
Not only did I not know that among all of this season's reboots, FOX is doing The Exorcist with Geena Davis, but it's also got Alfondo Herrera from Sense8! (Hernando, as in "Hernando, I lost a flip-flop.")
God damn it. But I don't wanna watch The Exorcist.
Good luck with that, Rebecca. I still dream about Furlough Fridays sometimes -- in 2008 when they put everyone to 90% pay and 90% time, so we got every other Friday off. That was great!
I'm not so sure about my phone screen. The guy asked me very specific information about every job I've ever had, and I couldn't necessarily dredge it up. No, I don't remember that specific number from 20 years ago! Even 10. Yikes. And that whole thing took so long, I didn't really have time to ask many questions of him. So we'll see if I move forward in the process, but probably not until the week after next. Moving on!
Interesting. I wonder what all that specificity is all about.
Y'all, I have gotten out of the habit of watching TV. How did that happen? I don't know how to react to it, either.
