One of my co workers mentioned a rumor to me today that Ford was going to cut 1,500 contracted Technical Engineers. Boy I was disappointed when I heard that! My new position I took in June is a Quality Engineer.My old position I had before I got laid off before was a Service Engineer that falls under Technical Engineer.Since my new position is a pilot program,my boss reclassified it to a Quality Engineer.Maybe that kept me off the so called list.Living here in the Detroit area...the Automobile Capital of the World sure can be tough since most people I know work for the auto companies or suppliers.

Glad you're okay.

Judging by some of the automotive sales forecasts, I think it's going to get worse before it gets better. [Frown]

Boy, tell me about it. I am in the telecommunications sector. More specially, I WAS in the emerging (now submerged) local competition area. [Frown] There are not many new start up companies even left now.

I really don't see it getting any better. [Frown]

I think I'm going to be ok for a while.

Good Old Bush needs to start doing something about this country and say the heck with them other ones. They don't want us there anyway. [Roll Eyes]
