Fuck

M's boss just told him that they're cutting him from five days p/week to three days p/week due to budgetary issues. UGGGGGHHHHH! While I know this isn't the worst news possible, it's still pretty bad. Can't he catch a damn break?!? He just got to the point in which he was out of his depression and feeling normal again. FUCK! Wasn't the almost two years of unemployment enough?? :-(

Dude, that sucks. Give him a hug for me, I was on the 2 years of unemployment and I know how he feels. And hugs for you too.

People are just pawns in the process. It really doesn't matter whether they are good or bad at what they do. The only matter is whether they draw a salary. If they do, they can be sliced and diced with impunity by "the boss."

So sorry that this has happened. This is the kind of thing which emboldens the Occupy movement.

I'm sorry to hear this...but I think that Rob-bear has a good point.

@Rob-bear & Anthea: I know, I know. You're right. It's just hard to watch him go through this... especially because I know how good he is at what he does & how much he really loves (well, less so now) the company. The owner of the place actually had the audacity to ask him if the cut in hours would have a negative impact on him financially... WTF?!? Of course, he's a millionaire, so those hours really wouldn't have as much of an impact as it does on someone who's the lowest paid employee in the whole company. UGH!
