Survival

I hope y'all survived the cuts.  I've not heard if anyone from the Sun thread or here has been laid off but I assume we all escaped this particular set of cuts. 

Please take the 35.5 hour work week fairly seriously and prepare for that in event it occurs.  I'm hearing it from people who would know and am being told it would be effective July 1st if approved by the legislature.  It would be a huge pay cut for everyone so it is something people who can retire should consider and those who can't need to plan financially.  Just a word of advice.  A 2 billion dollar deficit is not going to leave us unscathed and it makes sense for him to do it this way.  He wouldn't be laying off ... the employees would be choosing to leave or stay. 

Hopefully, the job market will perk up a bit prior to next July and those of us that want out, will be able to get out.

Those of us closest to retirement just keep dreaming fantasizing of a buyout. But when we wake up the reality is there that by making everyone's life miserable, they will leave on their own and he will not need one!
