FML- The board curse continues
My hours just got significantly cut at work. Another downside to working for a new start up company? Sometimes the business just isn't what you hope it will be. I have to take a $1500 a month cut. They're hoping it will only be for 2 months and really that's why they're keeping me around at all. Basically they're putting off hiring someone we were going to hire and reducing my hours to help us get through a rough patch and hoping that they can come out the other side of it with me still as their employee. They said they completely understand if I walk and that they will work to help me find a job, but that they hope I'll stay.
The thing is, if I got a full time offer, I'd take it in a heartbeat, but there's not a great chance of that right now. As you all know too well, the market sucks. I feel like my only option is to stay and try to supplement the income. So, if any of you have any part time (or full time obviously) job leads let me know. I have admin, sales and marketing experience (but will only leave for a full time position that's marketing related.)
I also feel so guilty. I know I didn't do anything, but DH already feels pressured as the main breadwinner. I hate to do this to him. This sucks.

Re: FML- The board curse continues
I'm sorry.
Don't beat yourself up about it being your fault even though you know it's not. My office hires part time people every now and then for processing. I have no idea if you would be interested, but I'll let you know next time it comes up.
Sorry
I'll let you know if I hear of any openings.
I'm sorry
I don't know if you'd be intersted, but sometimes you can find some part time sitting jobs on sittercity.com.
Thanks, ladies! I appreciate the support and you guys keeping your eyes open for anything. So far I've filled out 7 applications and now I'm getting ready to open a bottle of wine.
I know that with so many people losing jobs in this economy I'm lucky to have a job at all, it just stinks. Hopefully it will lead to bigger and better things.
Oh man, I've been there & it really sucks. I'm so sorry to hear that.
Want a career change? Since Sikes isn't coming back, we're down a Nestie, lol.
Thanks. The headhunter is definitely a good idea. I'm really trying to look at the positives. 1) Hopefully I can find something that is a better fit for me and my career goals and 2) I guess I should be flattered that they're trying so hard to keep me in any way shape or form since they really can't afford to. I see the business and payments that come through every month so I had a feeling this might happen and had started looking as a back up a few weeks ago. I need better job security and I'm trying to tell myself that this is a push in the direction of bigger and better things. Thanks for the support, ladies!
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
