there was some big news announced friday in regards to work. in the morning they had a big meeting for the whole consumer relations department for some "training", which i heard was basically a three hour motivational talk by some speaker to get everyone pumped up, since morale has been fairly low with the impending downsizing looming over everyone's head. i wasn't at the meeting because i had classes in the morning. then, at the very end of the talk, they made the announcement that in the next month or so they would be letting people know that they are being let go. from what i hear, they're going to let about 75% of the CSRs go. they'll be cutting the number of contacts (emails and phone calls from consumers to 10%, so obviously they won't need many people. with only 30-40 of 120 people being kept on, only people ranked in the top third of the department stand a chance of being kept, but even then not all of them will be. i am not in the top third, so i'm as good as gone, which is okay. i was probably going to quit before next quarter, because i couldn't find any useful classes to schedule around work. but the pay will be greatly missed, and i don't know what i'm going to do next. i'm not sure i want to go back to nick and tom's, but its always an option.
tim and elly will be staying in new jersey for another eight month rotation. i think that's what they wanted to do, so that's good. i know they're hoping they can come back to cincinnati for the final eight month section. hopefully they can work that out.
i feel like i had some other big news to talk about, but i can't remember it.
