What is the name of your state? Wisconsin
Got a big surprise at work today.
I have been there the second longest, 14 + year's.
all summer we run 2 man crew's, and we run 5 crew's. 10 people
They laid off 4 due to lack of work, but it is alway's really slow in the winter.
So 6 of us left, they laid off 2 more today, and I was one,
We had a small meetting in the conf. room and I asked why, does senority mean nothing ? (with the 3-bosses and myself).
I was told there was only enough work for 2 crew's, and I do realize that.
A little back round on a employee named Jill.-she has been there 4 year's, and while working there she got married, and of course pregnant. Shortly after her husband who race's motor cross (dirt bike's) took a jump and broke his neck, yup married a few month's and now in a wheel chair paralized from the waist down. And then she had a child.
They were going to fire her before this accident due to her inability at work, but kept her on after the accident.
Any way's, the reason I was laid off was because she has a family to support, and I am single. I was told this by the bosses! I am only laid off for 2 week's, but I feel I should document this some how?
I told them I was not pleased, and what if 2 week's turn's into longer?
They promised me, and I do trust them, as we have alway's gotten along. But still in the back of my mind I feel I should protect myself, but how, it would be there word against mine?
Let me know what you think.
Well enough
take care Bryan
