I was going to post a message here either Wednesday or yesterday about my
observations of having Democrats in power.
I am kind of a 'borderline' employee. I know enough to get by, and have a
boatload of experience, but when it comes down to it, with so many people
with full college educations, I sometimes get left out in the cold. I just
never finished, although I do have an Associate's and about 3 years of
Part-time schooling.
So, when the Republicans are in power, and the job market begins to
tighten, I'm usually the next one after the Kolledge Kids to get hired.
When the Dems are in power, the job market slacks, and I can usually hold
my own to a point, but eventually I get the Pink Slip.
The Freakin' Dems aren't even in power yet, and ALREADY I'm hit!!!!
I took today off since it was such a nice day and the last day I was going
to drive the Supra with the roof off. It goes into storage tomorrow.
I was Simonizing the Scion when I got a call; my boss, his boss and HR.
I knew what it was...I had just made a joke about the Company letter I got
with my check yesterday; "What's this, a Pink Slip?"
Always the way it goes; when the Republicans are in power, I do very well,
when the Democrats are in power, my skills just aren't in demand.
I don't think I am supposed to say "shit" am I? Your luck is kind of
like the guy who was going to be Kerry's campaign manager until a few
weeks ago.

Nah, it's ok. They didn't know I was going to be out today, and my boss
was glad, because they weren't going to tell us until 2. He knew yesterday
at 2, but I had left cause I wasn't well.

Sorry to hear that. But last time the Democrats was in power (90s), techie
was in great demand. Ever since Republicans took control in 2000, techie
demand has been declining and Burger flipper was in great demand. May be you
are the victim of this decline. You should be glad that now Democrats will
be in power because techie will be in demand again.

Leaving the politics & any possible cause-effect aside... Bummer. Good
luck re: new employment.

I got the axe then, too from a high-paying job to one for half the salary.

No, I'm glad because Democrats give away the farm. Woooo Hoooo!
Unemployment, here I come! Should be large grants for UI under the Dems,
eh?

Those kinds of jobs are hard to come by here in the Western part of the
state. I had lucked out big time when I got this one.
I have an interview Tuesday for a temp. My supervisor (it's hard to call a
32 year old your 'boss') called and said if the company makes it, he'll
call me and try to get me hired back as Desktop Support.
I remember (sort of) a phrase someone had on their wall in bastardized latin
"Illigitimum non carborundum" or some such - ie don't let the bastards wear
you down.
School for a while or to much $$?
Look at it as a way out of what you were doing.
(Easy for me to say Hach, I am retired but wife is still working - she is an
RN and the education she got as kids got out of school makes probably
50-60k/year difference AND always a job offer on the table)

if his company was doing that poorly, he would have been laid off
regardless of who is running things. i seriously doubt his boss said "oh
shit, the dems won! now ive got to fire people!" people need a bogeyman
to point the finger at, though.
