Not Laid Off!

For those of you who follow the business news, you may have heard that my company let go 3,000 employees today throughout the U.S., U.K and Canada. Thankfully I’m safe, but what upset me was that the official announcement was not made to us employees until later this morning. The media already printed the article early this morning.

Communication is terrible here……give the employees the courtesy first before announcing it to the public! Anyway, it was sad today as some people were crying. From my dept of 40, we let go 6 of them. I was already told 2 weeks ago that I was safe and being moved up to a higher level (above and outside the mortgage level). I’m just thankful that God really provided and that He “placed” me in a good department. I thought about how worried I was last year about finding a new job and got upset that the other positions I applied for didn’t pan out. God really does know what He’s doing as He had me wait for this position. Had I taken the other positions, I would have been laid off. Just goes to show how little faith and trust I have in Him at times.
