Poll: Are you employed?

DHR Motorsports · Apr 30, 2009

Working enough to stay open and picking up just enough work so that one one project ends I go to the next.

It is kinda nerve wracking as I am just wondering if I will have another project to move to and seem to land one at the last moment.:awesomework:

Not too good on the stress level though.:beer:

Having to travel ALOT also!!
Next project moves us from Raymond to chelan county!!!:eeek:

I am employed.
I like my job.
I don't have an fears of loosing my job as a matter of fact they just brought on 2 contractors who would go out the door before me.

Flexy Backhand · Apr 30, 2009

LWB Samurai Joe · Apr 30, 2009

Lost my job after 18 years last November. Now I'm doing contract work for them.

Dude · Apr 30, 2009

Unemployed for way too long now, and still looking for a job. I have had a lot of shops that would like to hire me, but not enough work load to take on another employee at the moment in my area. I can't afford to move at the moment and commuting a long ways can cost a guy a lot.

and to add, there is no such thing as a stable job these days, even if you are self employed. So always save money so you can be prepared for a major change if it comes up. I thought I had a stable job too once or twice. :;

24 years and counting....day by day. I don't think I'm going anywhere but I don't take it for granted.

PUO-BANNED · Apr 30, 2009

timothy · Apr 30, 2009

As long as there is (COKE), to buy & drink, my nine yrs will grow. " AMEN"

slythorne · Apr 30, 2009

Wal-Mart ain't going anywhere anytime soon.....
(The only reason I stayed there the last year is because I saw the writing on the wall....)

bleeepn · Apr 30, 2009

As long as people still need power, I'll keep climbing power poles!:awesomework:

Weifallo · Apr 30, 2009

2 jobs.

One is stable, but with variable income (tips). The other is steady income with uncertain future. I'm clinging to them both right now!

I've known a few people here who have just up and quit their jobs recently with no backup plan. WTF??... they know they live in Michigan right??? Every week a few of my friends are laid off... 3 of them today. It sucks balls here! 13% UE... and that's before all of the newly announced layoffs with the auto crap. scary.

lethe · Apr 30, 2009

i would say im pretty stable where im at...expecially when the company is still opening new stores nation wide:cheer:

Nuzzy · Apr 30, 2009

Un. :booo:

spidertoy · Apr 30, 2009

employed, busier than stink on ****, there are days where we can barely keep ahead of the work:eeek:

cavemandogpound · Apr 30, 2009

looking forward to an upcoming job. But getting family time and working on projects around the yard has been good. Self employed, have never drawn unemployment.

Spanaway Mudder · Apr 30, 2009

i'm with ya,pepsi is a cheap luxury my boss says and we are doing good, i am secure

Thanatos · May 1, 2009

Got a pretty secure job of 14 years. Wish that I could be home more though. I am deployed on a humanitarian mission that is wasting money that could be better spent helping our own citizens in our own country.

Boomer · May 1, 2009

Being closer to the top of the seniority roster than the bottom has its benefits. While rail traffic is down substantially, many men have been furloughed and more cuts are reportedly coming next week, my employment is secure and I have lots of options for jobs I can hold.
