Bad News Today

Hey everyone, I got really bad news today.

As of Feb 28 I am basically out of work. Not completely, but my full time position is no longer mine, and I will be in the float pool. Therefore, I am working casual relief (when others are sick or on holidays or whatever). Therefore, my 38 or so hours a week will become who knows what (anywhere from 8-40) with no benefits. I cannot afford to live like this, and can't afford to keep getting screwed around by my workplace. So, I am job hunting!

Energies to help with this would be really appreciated, as right now, I don't even have the energy to think.

If anyone knows of anywhere that is hiring, please let me know.

Thanks.

What do you do? If your an RN or such I know we need them badly at work.

So sorry to hear to that. I did the casual thing for 5 years. Its feast or famine. I usually ended up working full time in the summer and once September hit I was lucky to get one shift a week. Did you check out the HRDC job bank. Not sure if you are in the states or Canada.

I was going to post the link for you but its not working right now. What kind of work would you be looking for.

:) Best of luck

Sorry to hear Byrd. Maybe if you say what you do we can make suggestions?

Sorry, I am in the medical field.... reception, stenographer, visual field technician.

I am looking for anything as long as it's relatively 9-5 (busy with willow's training), and pays at least $15/hour.

I'm not being picky... it's just that I can barely survive right now at 38 hours @ $17/hour.... sooo I can't imagine less.


I did the floating thing for a very looooong time. Yup, feast or famine, one time had 16 days straight (101 hours in two weeks), another time I had 14 in two weeks.... can't survive on that!

Sending good vibes. :fingerscr :fingerscr :pawprint: :pawprint: I hope you find a new job soon.

Aww Byrd. That's terrible and just when things were going so good with your life again.

Byrd, what an upsetting thing to happen, I'm so sorry for all the uncertainty this brings with it.
My best wishes and all positive vibes go out to you.:fingerscr

Maybe something better will come up, Byrd.
As distressing as it is..sometime these things turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
My niece was shocked and devastated when she was fired from her long-term position, (on her birthday, no less) and newly divorced and on her own..very scared for her financial future.
A better paying job with more opportunites materialized in less than a month.

Here's hoping the same for you!:fingerscr :fingerscr

Byrd, I was born and raised in Oshawa AND I am moving back there as of this Friday. I will shake the trees for my old contacts and see what falls out.

Good luck with your search Byrd.

Goldengirl: Thank you soooo much!

Bushfire: Rule of my life, nothing can be good without something bad to balance it out.

Byrd,I talk to my gang about your situation,so now there is 16 paws X for a new,better paying job for you.Hope it works out.

Can you get yourself on UI in the mean time???

I wish you the best of luck!

I live in the Oshawa area. I can keep my eyes peeled or ask some friends.

Thanks again everyone.

I have made a plan... See, I'm going to Egypt in April, so can't start a new job and then say "oh, by the way...." so I have decided to see. If I get full time within my current setting before then, great, if I don't, I will seriously start looking. I am going to sit tight for two months though... I know that I will have at least 3 1/2 days of work in the meantime.

Eygypt thats exciting my brother is there right now sailing if you see him be sure to say his name is Bill. :D

Hope things work out for you in the meantime. Good luck
