My husband is going through temporary layoffs at work again this year.
He went through them in December of 2009, then for two weeks last summer and then again this past December and now this summer his going to have two one week lay offs. It’s too much.
There have been so many cuts to heath care positions in Ontario that this is what it’s come to in the last two years .. constant temporary layoffs and job cuts. It’s awful. My husband has been keeping his eye out for any other healthcare jobs but there really aren’t any that he likes better than the position that he has now.
I have a feeling that sometime in the next few months he might be in a totally different career. With me on unpaid medical leave and him being laid off four weeks for two years in a row … well somethings gotta change.
that’s just awful…wishing you both better luck and greater jobs.
This is really a sign of the times. Here in London there are layoffs all over the show – everybody’s getting the axe, but I honestly had no clue that Canada was going through the same sort of misery. Sorry about the old boy.
Our family has gone through much of the same… I hope that he is able to find permanent work… @Josh is right, things are not good right now, no matter where you are at.
