Laid off today.

United Coal laid off 100+ today. Bummer before Christmas.

Hate to hear that Burrhead, especially right before Christmas. Good Luck

Is that where you were working?

If you want a job stocking chips, let me know. It'd be around 40-50K a year.

Im half tempted to give that a try lung.

Really hate to hear that. I hope they gave everyone some form of severence.

I wish companies would change their fiscal year dates so that if layoffs were coming it wouldn't be during the holidays and during the coldest time of year when it costs more to live.

Wellmont got me (and many others) 3 days before Christmas last year. Thank goodness it was only p/t for me but for most others it was the only living they knew.

No nothing. Just said it was a bad time. Placed up some of the older ones at some Grundy mines. I'll be fine, but some are really hurting.

They pay your insurance Herb?

Helluva Christmas present huh? [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/mad.gif[/img] Gotta love how they do that. I am sorry to hear that. My buddy said that Paramount is going to be hiring in January (as is Equitable). Wishing you luck finding a job PDQ.

No. It's about $20 a week I guess. Health, vision, dental. They're one of the only companys left in the US that give you a pension. After 5 years you're vested.

I hear the McDonald's in Wise is looking for help.
