Man, just got some bad news here at the office about a job prospect. Not sure what the future's going to hold if we don't get some more work soon...

We have a company meeting starting in 20 minutes...should be interesting.

I only get to hear about the stuff through the grapevine, so I'm not too sure what's going on behind the closed doors.

Damn dude, are you trying to get sole custody or something? I had no idea it was that expensive.

When you start at base level and add details, the price increases GEOMETRICALLY - not linearly due to the nature and number of communications involved.

And, Chucktown, take this FWIW - the attorneys know your worth. Do not make any mistakes - they are out to make a $ while representing your interestes but you will find the advice will change as your financial reserves take a dive. Seriously. Ask anyone who has gone thru a divorce, they will tell you that it seems that the billables roughly match your level of assets.

Just to clarify, I am in no way thinking about divorce.

Good to know. But is she?

Something to think about.

Not that anyone WOULD need it, just putting it out there in case...

I sure hope not. At least she hasn't given me any indication that's a possibility.

Having to clean out your laid off co-workers offices sucks...

^I can only imagine Ray. Sorry you have to be the one to do it.

I have figured out how to diminish the time that a very talkative coworker spends in my office. I don't talk back. Not a word. Just a smile or nod, but no speaking.

 

[Sschell]

^ I'm going to use that!

Yeah, my boss doesn't have the balls to do it.. I at least make sure no one pillages what is left just in case they forgot something personal.

Our company meeting was the same song and dance. It's going to be a difficult year, but it should go smoothly.

I feel kinda like Peter Gibbons. I got a raise and they are forcing the old dude that sits next to me to retire.

 

[Melanie11]

I wish they'd offer up some retirement stuff here because I think some people would take it. They are just laying people off

 

[Fluvial]

Oh puhleaze!!! It was -10F here with the windchill with plenty of the white stuff.

Hey!! Nobody held a gun to your head and made you move to the Frozen North.

Ray: it's very good of you to do that.

 

[TranspoVA]

That sucks...a sign of the times though I suppose

That's what I hate about any meetings about the state of the office. Everything is always positive and you can't get a good feel for how things really are. Fortunately my boss is very vocal and typically tells us stuff he probably isn't supposed to.

Edit: BOP!

No kidding, I got a small raise for my hard work and putting the company first on a few occasions (plus the anticipated sh!t storm of work I will have to take on over the next year or so)... it was an eerie feeling at the office Holiday party where all you could think is who was getting the axe after management sat down and ate dinner with you and your spouse.
