Currently, more people are unemployed due to the global financial crisis that is happening ..Companies, factories, etc. are removing employees to be able to survive this crisis. I read that more people will be unemployed as day comes.. are you one of those employees???

Just got hired in September, been lucky so far not to have any issues, but my company is cutting back and being a recent hire I know I am likely on the chopping block. Hoping not to be in the list.

Actually just got back home and heard the best news since I heard they are making cuts... it's not going to be based on seniority, so hopefully the people who SHOULD have moved up and forward that haven't yet will be the first to go. I hate to be mean, but it would be nice to see some of them go away as they are mean, obnoxious and underachieving.

Hey Lady_Shan...I am unemployed right now, by chocie. But my hubby is currently laid off. its tough in this economy. How are you staying afloat in these hard times? My hubby had a nest egg for us to be able to pay our mortage and car payments, so we are doing ok for now. WE've cut back on a lot of things though. How has this economy been for you?

For now, my country is not that affected by the crisis as of now....We still have some source of income so I think I can survive with this current crisis...I'm also into some online opportunities here and somehow i can earn from it.. Just think positive and all will be over in months or so...
