My Visteon boss just came in and gave me the great news.Tomorrow is my last day! So if I don't find a job soon...good bye 35th Anniversary Brickyard 400 #22! I can't make it on unemployment and that is not an option. Gotta love coprorate America business' in how they give a nice big notice. Sorry if I sound like I come off wrong.

Greg, I am really very sorry to hear. Yo are right about Corporate America and it is wrong to give a one day notice. You are in my prayers my friend.
Posted by Sweden SS (Member # 1747) on 30 April, 2003 03:58 AM:
WOW, is that the way it works over in the US??? One days notice That sucks In Sweden you get a one month notice... that's the minimum required by law. Hope everything works out so you can keep the LE Posted by 35TH ED/ed (Member # 1709) on 30 April, 2003 06:31 AM:

I want to thank all of you for my support.This board is really "Family" and I appreciate all of the prayers and good words.You people are the BEST! Got to go and file for unemployment tomorrow.I feel strange because I have never been unemployed in my whole life.My Ford boss said that he heard on the news last night that Visteon was letting go 5,000 contract employees.It does not matter what positions they have.That is going to tighten up the local job market real bad.
Posted by DanPazich (Member # 1352) on 30 April, 2003 09:29 AM:
Wow Greg, that is very big shocking news. I am sure you will find something soon. Hopefully with GM! Good Luck, you know we're all here for you.
Posted by edg35SSLE (Member # 1381) on 30 April, 2003 09:59 AM:
Sorry to hear the news Greg. I know how you feel. Same thing happened to me 2 years ago. Then I found work local and they let me go as well. (Corporations...sheesh) Good luck in your search. Not the best of times to be out. I also worry about my 35th. Something has to come along soon. Hang in there pal...your not the only one..

Thanks Fbodfather for the link. Posted by MM (Member # 1247) on 03 May, 2003 07:36 PM:
That sucks..... I thought you worked at ford though and not vistion? At any rate if you want some more "leads" I have a bunch of auto web sites that I used when I was searching for a job a few years back....

I worked for Visteon which was Ford and was spun off by Ford in 2000. So I worked in a Ford building with a Ford ID badge and e-mail address,but handled calls from Ford Dealers that has a electronic body module concern that was a Visteon made module.So I had a Ford boss and a Visteon boss. Hope that make sense!Now my Ford boss is trying to get me back and I will be working only for Ford then. Did I say I hate Visteon for doing that to me and giving me a bad week?

Ahhh makes sense.... hopefully they will bring you back. I imagine the job market isn't super back there.... Hope everything works out!

Hopefully your Ford Boss will get you back as what was done to you was very cruel. Hang in there as everything will work out for you and looks as though its in the works now. Take care and keep us posted.
