It looks like I'll be needing to look for work -- there are few families of 5 that can live on $250 a week! We're about as frugal as they come, but come on!

Looks like a bunch of companies are getting bit with the cost-cutting bug.

My mom works for the same company -- she's getting cut back hours as well.

The company does not concern itself with keeping its contract workers "busy". They expect us to get other work -- which works for some people (young go-getters like myself, who do web programming) but NOT SO WELL for others (fiftysomething widows who have no recent job experience, and do copy editing/proofreading for a living)

Anyone need any website programming work done? I'm the Internet equivalent of an architect, construction worker/contractor, handyman, landscaper, and interior designer all rolled into one.

Fortunately, I do practical, down-to-earth work that many people would want (though it's limited to the computer world) -- I create and improve websites.

P.S. Please don't guess what company I work for, or post the company's name in a reply to this post. If I wanted the company's name mentioned, I would have mentioned it. Many of you can probably guess the company.

Hey I have a little web design experience. I think I could make a cathinfo banner if you wanted me to. I have Photoshop.

Then again, you probably would have made one if you didn't like how it was set up now.
