3. maybe he wants to announce
that Good Friday, the Holiday established for this terrific Christian nation we call America, will be a paid day off!

(hoping a bit of humor at least eases your anxiety a tad. i'd be nervous too.)

11. I actually get good friday off...
...paid. But I don't get president's day. Weird. But I get a TON of work done on president's day because the phones are so quite. So it's all good, I guess.

Anyway, neither here nor there...

7. When I was at my first .com...
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 07:11 PM by dmesg
...we all got laid off over IM. Seriously.

You are good at what you do, and you are a good person. Remember that, and remember that you'll land fine whatever happens.

*DU Hug*

9. Good vibes coming to you!
I always hated announcements like that-but they certainly don't have to mean bad news!

10. From experience...
Maybe he is going to say "no more overtime."

Or maybe he is going to announce some new system.

Or that he got a new job and you will have a new boss soon.

He is going to ask you all to cut back on supplies,expenses, etc.

Maybe he is going to invite you all out to lunch for a good job done!



I have experienced all of the above.

13. good luck
vibes being sent.

Does remind me of an experience with a telecom a few year back.
The company goes bk
So we listen to the "just hang in there"
we work extra hard to make it work.
So the company emerges from chap 11. They call a big celebration
video conference with all the offices hooked up.
About 1/2 way thru the video confernece, I look at my boss and say
"Sounds like we are not included in their plans doesn't it"
Sure enough, while we were watching the link up the emails were coming in.

I wish you better luck than I had.

15. Well, I hate to tell you my February 20th experience. I was told OVER THE TELEPHONE
Edited on Sat Mar-15-08 07:22 PM by Radio_Lady
that we were not needed as VOLUNTEERS anymore.

The service is reportededly going belly-up on June 30, 2008.

I wish you good luck, Parche.

Is your meeting going to be on Monday, March 17th?

I don't know what kind of stuff is on your work computer, but I'd try to copy my contact list (if you have one) as early as possible.
