jbeck Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 I just lost $ 140,000.00 worth of work with Milton Hershey School. I do renovations every summer with them, they just shut the project down indefinatley for this year. Man we are loosing work left and right. I'm paid salary, with a health package, company truck, and company cell phone. I'm not sure how long the boss can keep up with the payroll. I guess I hit the road tomorrow and try to drum up some work, but the margins are really tight out there. Wish me luck, if I don't get some work soon I'll probably be on the unemployement line. I know if I were him I'd lay me off. God is good all the time, even if we don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 God is good all the time, even if we don't see it. Yes, he is. It's tough to see sometimes, that's for sure, but we have to just keep on trusting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbeck Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 thanks for all the well wishes, I'll be alright. I have 50 acres beside the house, I can liquidate that if need be and be dept free. I feel sorry for the boss, he's been paying guys 40 hrs. to do 20 hrs worth of work to keep the guys in the shop working. He's neve laid any one off in his 17 years in buisness. I'm hoping he comes through this OK, he is the type that will take a beating to keep guys working. I ain't about to complain, I have a full freezer and a great family. I'm doing better than some.
