My husband ended up taking a job May 2009 after being on unemployment for 5 months for 1/4 of the pay he was making before. But hey he’s not on unemployment anymore. We just don’t do vacations, savings, no eating out, just sit at home and do nothing anymore. I guess thats what our government wanted. Went through our savings and everything. Fun life. Hope our Government is happy they’ve created this mess.
I know someone that just got hired after being laid off since Sept 2008. She was making 50,000 a year and had to accept a job in a cafeteria making 8.00 per hr. She’s a single mother with 2 kids. How do they expect anyone to live off of that?
A man I know with vast experience finally took a job pumping gas at a 7-Eleven. He formally had designed and sold a business plan...bought and sold real-estate..worked as a project manager...but there he was pumping gas.
for six months...and he hated it. But what he found once his ego leveled out, was having a job while your looking for a job keeps your sanity and when his new employeer learned he was willing to pump gas with all his experinece..he hired him on the spot....something to be said for a man who will do whatever it takes to make money...even if his ego goes down for a time...employers see that as honorable.
