Default Got Fired

My boyfriend recently got fired from work and it's such a shame. There have been too many people fired and laid off lately. It's very scary because now these people can't feed their families.

It is scary and a shame. Why was he fired? I know companies are cutting jobs and laying people off. Has he found a new one yet? I hope he is able to get unemployment for now.

I know some people who are stuck in a raise freeze that are working around it by promoting to new titles within the company. Others are just laying people off left and right for the silliest of things.

The economy is in the tank and it's not going to be getting any better any sooner. I wouldn't be surprised if we have another serious depression-not a recession.

Well, that's a shame. Now many companies can't wait to fire some of their employees, you just have to give them a good reason. Well, sometimes a reason will do.

I am actually surprised, while many people are going jobless even more people are still buying homes again. The realtor side of things has sparked up to a record high in our area.

He was fired because of a time sheet incident that happened back in February. He had marked the wrong day off and corrected it, but too late. They said it was fine but then they decided they needed to get rid of some employees and I guess that qualified him to be the first to go.
