Off that is.
Do to economic times I am getting laid off.
I just moved in to an apartment that is already hard to pay rent on ,and now comes the news that the plant i work in is laying off 80 people in April.It's hard for me now to pay jam spot rent ,gear and house rent.This is going to suck.We are all in for some changes in our lifestyles and are going to be hit hard,just be glad you live in Canada and there isn't people cutting your head off for rice or water. - Wed, 25 Mar 2009 9:30pm

"it seems as if people thought the island was buffered.

on the contrary, we wont be seeing the "recession" as much as other cities because we dont rely on HUGE corp. to employ our population on the island. THough where we WILL see it most is in the richer more affluent peoples will have lost ALOT of money in the stock market(though sticking it out and holding it is about all anyone can do at this point)... But that's not to say that we WONT see any effects... just not as bad as say, Detroit or any sort of huge industrial-type city.
I wont be getting layed off/fired anytime soon, in fact I will be making just as much if not more by year end (09) than last year...
So, here's to small business'! - Thu, 26 Mar 2009 3:10pm

Praise union collective agreements and job security.
This too shall pass...well, as long as the powers that be act properly and responsibly to fix it all.
What happens if they don't? Will we finally see a maniacal backlash against these irresponsible thieves? - Thu, 26 Mar 2009 5:24pm

my union collective agreement and job security collapsed when they shipped 400 jobs to the Philippines. It's kind of a heaven sent, now they have to pay for my moving and a severance package. - Fri, 27 Mar 2009 11:54pm
