The sun has risen

It is a cold day in Ottawa as the busless steets are swept with a -40 windchill.

The house is quiet, aside from the hum of my computers and the radio bringing me the news of the world.

My employer has filed for bankruptcy.

Yeeah, I saw the headlines this morning.

Scarey stuff. Thinking of you...

[bitterwind]

Thanks. I just need to get on with my life ... but I'm not quite laid off yet. Likely soon, but not yet.

Ack. While not totally unexpected, it does live up to that interesting times you spoke of. :( Not so good.

[bitterwind]

For once, the rumor mill got it exactly right.

So now the big question comes... what does this mean for the "assets", ie- the employees.

Stelco went into that mode at one point, did they not? And they are still here?

[bitterwind]

random no-severance layoffs for the foreseeable future.

As not surprising as the news is, it is still surprising.
