I watched the news tonight, 321 people laid off in Chicago, people attended the Board of Supervisors meeting to protest. Lot of single moms without the only income they have.
Today at the spa a young man told me he was laid off this week and had to cancel his 7 day stay at Pismo dunes. They came from Fresno for a day trip only. He had his job for 5 years, never a sick day, always on time. 12 people got their pink slips. He was devastated. His wife does not work, they have a child. I will not likely see this person again, I recommended he go to Caljobs, Workforce, and EDD right away to see if there are jobs he can apply for and get hired even before his unemployment benefits kick in. No severance, it's a difficult time for him.
Gazillion also laid off a bunch of people this week. |
