No I chose to retire. Never really felt the bad economy for myself but have seen it effect others and for this I am saddened.

In a way yes. I was promised a job and then they decided to hire through a temp agency so they didn't have to pay benefits and pay as much salary as they were going to pay. I can't seem to find a job because everyone is going through temp agencies here and so I guess you could say yes.

In a way, yes. The economy didn't get me laid off, it just prevented me from getting my old job back.
Or any other job for that matter.

Nah, just 20% salary cut, loss of bonuses, loss of 401k match, loss of employee stock purchase program discount...all the while going from high teens to #9 in the Fortune 500. It may be time to develop heavy short positions on a certain company's seemingly-overvalued stock that has had ~30% increase in share price the first 6 months of '09.
You heard it on the internet.
It MUST be true.

I am very fortunate to own a small manufacturing business and I'm happy to say we are having a very good year. I was, in years past, a Telephone Co. Engineer and after I retired, I re-activated Del-Val Stamp Co. My very best +3

Is it your job of the company's job? A lot of people think their job belongs to them and it doesn't.
