I dunno, but not being able to buy an HDTV really isn't a bad thing. There are people out there that have legitimate complaints about not being able to eat three meals a day.<BR/><BR/>I think you are lucky!Chiaroscurohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06788419217173519038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242958444459212683.post-89866706747881098602009-03-12T16:49:00.000-07:002009-03-12T16:49:00.000-07:00Bobby- Being cheap is what I will have to do for t...Bobby- Being cheap is what I will have to do for the foreseeable future if I don't want to touch my savings. I just hope that we are at least close to the bottom of this thing.<BR/><BR/>Jen- Thank you. Supposedly our higher ups are having to do the same thing.<BR/><BR/>What I don't understand is how/why the company is at this time spending $118 million to expand one of the factories, a factory at which they have recently cut shifts and work days. It makes no sense to me.Knifeboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075550380062775196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242958444459212683.post-4308162456172555662009-03-12T13:48:00.000-07:002009-03-12T13:48:00.000-07:00Oh man, I am so sorry!

You want to be grateful to have a job, but at the same time, you're asked to do the same amount of work or more for less and you're not able to keep up with the basic necessities of life.<BR/><BR/>It blows. I wonder how much of a hit the higher-ups at these companies are really taking??<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry.

When we sold that went out the door too...<BR/><BR/>Knuckle up buddy. Saving money and being cheap can also be a game that is fun to play in light of all the horror on the landscape.Fijufichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00626543577510367007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2242958444459212683.post-35755375071058569562009-03-11T16:44:00.000-07:002009-03-11T16:44:00.000-07:00Xanadu- I work for a major foreign automobile manu...Xanadu- I work for a major foreign automobile manufacturer.

We haven't been told about days off with no pay YET, but I can see that happening here, too. Gets scarier all the time. The malls are empty right now. Hardly anybody there. This is just getting worse all the time. When are we going to see things on the upswing? We haven't even bottomed out yet.
