Some employers who's companies are doing well could easily use the recession as a way to cut costs for more financial gain!

I just need to be patient & allow my body to heal as its been through a huge trauma! <br />Sorry to read about your salary cut, glad though you made the decision not to give up your job, I also think its better to be employed! <br />This recession is making life hard for everybody all over the world....We are all having to tighten our belts & make savings when we can?! <br />Take Care - Mar xMar Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18142373924610940593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6927199606776255610.post-69535174099496068152009-04-17T16:58:00.000-07:002009-04-17T16:58:00.000-07:00thank you so much Sid.

In my case it was always to move a more challenging job or to a position where they were about to get new technology and so I would be taking the manufactuers training courses. As you may have guessed I am an information junkie and don't have the same attitude about money most people have. Money is like a screwdriver. It is a tool that has a variety of purposes. It can tighten a screw or it can be misused and driven through someones thigh. Money is probably the most misused tool on the planet.

far ...Dear Odette<br />I am glad you made that choice...<br />far better to be employed.<br /><br />So sorry it had to happen - but hope your belt tightening is not too painful ...<br />None of us know when we will be faced with the same choice - or redundancy. Many blogs are touching on this theme...<br />xFi from Four Paws and Whiskershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217307759511472654noreply@blogger.com
