"...about tomorrow-today has its OWN worries"....I am trying to apply that to my own life,and situation at work.I have a GREAT support group(My wife;her parents;my sisters)...my wife just says"DONT WORRY!!TAKE IT TO THE LORD,;WE WILL BE FINE"!...Smart woman-UNBELIEVABLE faith.Yesterday,I was thinking back and I realized I have not been jobless since my first marriage way back in'78-And then,it wasnt too long before I found one.In my situation now,they will have to shut the whole place down to get rid of me-My seniority and Union membership will see to that.My concern is for some of the other co-workers fates-Like the guy that just bought a house and is raising 5 kids.I have no kids to raise-They are grown up and gone,now.The chances of them shutting completely is extremely remote.I have been there 20 years Oct.1st-#34 on the seniority list,I think.Most of the people above me are skilled trades-maintenance,tooling,etc.ANYWAY:The bottom line is I KNOW I WILL BE OK-sorry for sounding like such a downer yeaterday...the way I understand it,only about 12-15 will be laid off indefinitely-NOT 1/3 of the work force.Even at 1/3;I would still be there.I will know more today.THE MOST IRONIC PART??If I end up on 3RD;I will;because of my seniority;be doing a job that will give me an hourly pay increase every time I change over or adjust a machine.Thats what happened last time this happened.I guess this is the way the LORD is taking care of me,though its a mixed feeling
eople getting laid off permanently,and Im gettin a pay raise
