Laid Off!! - Page 4

Proheat · 06-27-2008, 11:34 PM

Hang in there Doug!! It sounds like you might be better off already with the first project and the possibility of the other two.
I know of a cable company that axed alot of positions all throughout all levels and positions and now make the remaining employees carry the additional work load on top of thier already overburdened workload.

It seems to just be a numbers game during these troubled economic times.

Good Luck and enjoy your additional time off!!

I am sorry to hear that Double D. Hang in there Things will get better.

That's very cool about the projects! You have a great attitude so I'm sure you'll come out on top

Doug, good luck where ever you wind up If you ever decide to bring out a potential client on a fishing trip Care of "Double D Engineering", I'll donate a custom rod with the guys name, and company name on it. Whatever you need.
I remember Donald Trump saying the best place to court business is on the golf course, gives you a chance to talk to a client. I would think the same would apply to a fishing trip.
I like golfing myself, if you need a custom putter let me know.
Doug, I have resorted to plan B. I'm waiting for my kids to support me. It is a good plan, but it looks like I might be long dead by the time it takes effect. Good Luck, wish you the best.

You are better off on your own.....hopefully you will make more and have more time to fish!!

Double D · 06-29-2008, 12:05 PM

Kevin - That's very generous, but you have already donated more than enough to me over the years.

Too much business is done on the golf course, I always feel like I am wasting time when I am obligated to go.

Tom, Marty, Brian, Neil and all - I really appreciate the encouraging words. Have a meeting this afternoon, next week will be crucial

bigeasy · 06-29-2008, 06:12 PM

bad news but you seem to be getting on with new opportunities.

The energy thing is going to create quite a headwind.

I would expect unemployment to be on the rise.

An aggressive domestic energy program would give the country a shot in the arm.

Good luck on the new beginning Doug! Attitude dictates direction and yours appears to be positive all the way.
