Yeah it is nice. My company caters for the rich of the rich....(Private schools...) so it is very nice. all they are doing is growing.

I have been doing pretty good this year. All of my lawn customers came back and i got abotu 10 more since last year. The otherside of the business was pretty good as usual, mulching, installs etc. I will prolly come out close to last year which isnt that bad! Chris

Been out of work since 6/26. Applications put in everywhere. No call backs at all. Computer/Network business is slow here in D/FW. I'm OK though. Knew along time ago the business was in jeopardy so I started a fund just in case. I'm on "Indefinite Economic Vacation" hahaha...JohnB

Oh we are so busy we had to tell the salesmen to stop telling customers they will be installed before January 1 cause it aint gonna happen. Only bad part of my job is i'm normally putting several people out of work. We automate parking garages so the attendants loose their jobs in most cases. Sometimes thou they move to different positions.

We had 2 across-the-board layoffs during the bad period. One in December and one in February. They were heartbreaking and gut wrenching. Kinda like Russian Roulette. You don't know if you're next until they stop at your desk, so everyone is on exteme edge when these events take place. We are around the corner and actually hiring again.

I went from building 25-30 truck scales a year to 12-15 this past year. It is getting better as my shop is now back at 6 week deliveries with no layoffs except for those that wanted or needed it! Later, ScaleMan!

Still turning wrenches, business is SSSSLLLLOOOOWWWWWW....... If i don't have any cars to work on I don't get paid, the worst part about it is that I haven't recover from the robbery i suffered back in May so I'm still hurting for tools. The owner of the place docent want to pay for my tools and I don't have money to buy all I need for work so I make the best of it and work with wut I have. Other than that I think Ill...

My Company laid off about 200 (company wide) in Feb. The worst part is our new mananger is a piece of So I'm looking before he lays me off.

Its everywhere I think. Even in the military. They have cut reenlistment bonus to mostly $0.00. They have increased alot of the standards and really started cracking down on the standards that have been in place. Making it harder and harder to not get kicked out. Even the wife who is an ER nurse. They have increased their patient to nurse ratio to cut back on the number of nurses on the clock at any given time. Havent seen them let anyone go,...

The job markets tough right now, but Our business (Environmental Engr) is getting better. We laid off about 4 people out of 30 so thats not to bad. Doing well actually for now. Steven
