Reply #64: "Be grateful you've got a job" [View All]

Is the new management mantra. Everyone I know who has work has been told this, usually accompanied by an announcement of a pay freeze, pay reduction, benefits reduction, hours reduction..... the list goes on.

Missing paychecks on the other hand is a really bad sign. I have suffered missing paychecks or bouncing paychecks with two different employers in my past. Within a handful of weeks after the problem arose, one went voluntary Chapter 11, and the other was raided by the IRS, locked up, and the President arrested for embezzeling tax witholding funds.

My theory has always been that it is easier to find a new job when currently employed. I would encourage your husband to keep looking.
