Do you believe in life after layoffs?
No, not me. Not yet, anyway. I can’t help but have a knot of worry in my stomach with the economy just going into the toilet and seeing random storefronts all closed up or with signs saying they’re going out of business.
All the articles on MSN recommend that you have at least a month in savings, but I don’t. And it makes me wonder if I should hold off on these trips I’m planning to Miami and Disneyland, and err on the side of caution. They’re planning labor reduction initiatives in my company, and while I’m likely on solid footing, mama didn’t raise no fool and I know I could go.
And speaking of, I really do worry about my family. None of them work for well-established companies like myself. But they report that things are fine.
Wouldn’t it have been nice if all of those people who contributed to Prop 8 might’ve instead directed their monies into an anti-homelessness initiative or some sort of free healthcare for the poor fund for those in their municipality?
