[QUOTE="clarnzz, post: 510562, member: 17250"] Well, I do have a little good news, it's not quite going to be as bad as I thought. Our vacations pickup to 10 per week here soon and I have vacation 2 out of the next 4 weeks anyways, so it looks like my layoff may be very short as long as volume at our center doesn't continue to fall off. It could very well just be these two days and some Mondays. I at least have 2 drivers under me so I'm not the first to go. It also sounds like after one week of layoffs I can bump into any shifts I want, so I could do midnight/preload, which doesn't work out quite as bad for me despite 2.5 hours or so downtime between shifts. Today and yesterday they did still do 1 or 2 voluntary layoffs as they don't want to lay off too many and have people call in sick and cause themselves more problems. I guess I should of learned after 15 years there that you should never get too worked up because things usually don't tend to be as bad they seem initially. Just a little harder when you have a wife and 3 kids. [/QUOTE]
