anyone seeing any signs of things picking up at work?

   There seems to be a lot of people saying the recession is ending. That may be true, but as deep as a hole the economy is in, it is going to take a long time to get back to the way things were before things went south.

    At where I work, I am seeing a spike in business and there's new work coming in. However, it is definately scaled back still. But I'll gladly take what comes along. Especially since my boss all but told me he was closing down my department. That is definately on his agenda. So much for 20 years of service. What about you? Does your wallet look like a run-over pancake?

I lost my over time sometime last year, a few got laid off and a few had their hours cut, THANKFULLY I am still at 40 hrs a week

BUT work is so slow, worried I may not have a job after the new year

HOPEFULLY things will pick up.

They (the "experts" that btw, didn't see it coming in the first place)are calling it a "jobless" recovery. The recipients of this type of "recovery" are government employees since they produce or manufacture nothing!!! Looks like to me it has gone almost as low (not quite but close) as it is going...only to bump along for the next 2 years or so as taxes increase to pay for our tax and spend party in washington!!!!

Three months ago I was on 4 days.

We went to five just with in the last month and half. Now I half to work over time this week.

I have seen that Billboard around here.

Since I work for Unemployment, YEAH< work has pciked up. Of course, you would be happier if work had NOT picked up around me.

Do I think that we are in recovery?? NO! If someone tells you that we are, they are dreaming. Everyday I hear about more and more places that are going under.

I am seeing things picking up at work. They fired the janitor. Now I'm picking up.

My company is still actively hiring. We're having so much trouble figuring out where to put everybody that we might have to rent out more space!

Busy as ever.

Good luck at work to you Sessy.

You take a financially strong company nine years ago and their business gradually declines from nine years ago to today, their rope is getting short. I think that's what happened at my workplace.

Freezy, I need to find out what kind of work they are hiring for...
