The job situation

4 comments

Many have asked what Andy's current job situation is so I wanted to let you all know what we know. Included in the inquiries was Blake saying "Dad, are you losing your job?" which was especially interesting since we don't watch the news and don't discuss these things with him until there's a reason to. Guess he's more aware than we thought.

On Thursday, Andy's company announced 1,300 more layoffs and also extended the required time-off in July from 2 weeks to 4 weeks for everybody. In addition, 700 more layoffs are expected to be announced in June. Andy was NOT affected by Thursday's layoffs but there's a much better chance he'll be affected by the June layoffs. We'll see what happens.

In the meantime, we'll be discussing what we'll do either way. Job searching is almost certain to be included regardless of what happens.
