Hard Times Are A-Coming

Well, hard times are not a-coming for us personally, at least not at this point, but yesterday I got a rude awakening as to how the Canadian economy is starting to slip into recession. And of course I worry.

I had the opportunity to speak briefly online with a former colleague, and apparently this past week saw mass lay-offs at my old place of work. He is still safe at the moment, but a lot of people are gone, and just before Christmas.

He told me it had been a really hard week with everyone knowing something was up. I remember being in that position years ago, where all of us staffers pretended like all was well, but each were just waiting to see where the axe would fall next. The stress of not knowing if you will have a job in the morning is a killer.

While I do not wish this company ill at all, I honestly am glad I got out on my own terms before it started tanking again. Certain industries will suffer due to this recession, and others I'm certain will not recover.
