Bastard, Can You Spare A Dime?


My place of employment has permanently cut salaries 5%. (And suspended 401(k) matching and annual merit increases.) Yay. But at least I have a job ...

Damn dude, very sorry to hear this. When did they tell you? Just in time for the holidays? Merry fucking Christmas indeed.

Yesterday morning. Out of the blue.

My brother told me about it yesterday and my first thought was whether or not it would apply to you.

Well, OK, my FIRST thought was whether any of my packages would be delayed, but you were my second thought. Even if they had to do it, a week before Christmas is just wrong. Sorry you got hit with this.

Jay said...

Thanks, Lurker. Did your packages arrive on time?

It's got to turn around eventually, right?
