Sorry to hear about your son....seems as though everyone knows someone (or many!) who have been laid off.
And yet all we hear is how the economy is improving.
We’re laying off a bunch of seasonal workers at the garden center next week. They knew it was seasonal work, but a few haven’t seemed to make any plans beyond next week. None of them want to sell Christmas Trees for me, though it has been offered. (I’m going to ask my son if he wants some hourly cash and tips, so that’s a little something for him.)
We can’t afford to keep them, nor could we justify the cost for our v-e-r-y s-l-o-w winter months. Four people a day and a cashier can run our shop for the months of January and February and most of March.
Wanna come sell Christmas Trees for me? It’s actually pretty much fun. We keep a bonfire going and sometimes slip a little schnaaps into our hot cocoa. ;)
