It's been quite a while since I've posted, but here you go. As you can tell from my Tech Unemployment blog postings; I have been working for a pretty large company for over 6 months. Within the last few weeks I have seen layoffs hit close to home, just as they been hitting everywhere in the marketplace.
I have obsessed for the last few months over trying to reduce credit card payments, reduce expenses, and build an emergency savings account.
I am afraid to admit it, but I'm starting to agree with the market experts in that it may not get better until late 2009 or early 2010. One thing I take solace in is that I can only control the things I can control. Just focus on being productive and doing my job, and if corporate powers decide to let me go, BE READY.
I know that this is a bummer of a post, but just writing about it helps. So when thinking about your job, remember:
1. Continue to work hard and show your value
2. Start saving and paying down debt
3. Continue learning (resume building)
