We too just took on some extra work.<BR/><BR/>But I do believe that this will not be forgotten and when the economy gets better then you will get rewarded. Right now your reward is to have a job. Thousands would happily do your job with even more work added on.<BR/><BR/>JMO.BPS 4.0 : Soul Exposurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10972643162284543614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-38196640961079339402008-11-20T20:41:00.000-05:002008-11-20T20:41:00.000-05:00Take a moment and thank the heavens above that you...Take a moment and thank the heavens above that you already have a good job and that you are good at what you do and really enjoy your job and all the perks attached to such position.

I'm the payroll manager - that pretty much makes me somewhat safe unless the entire company folds. But our numbers are shit right now because people just aren't traveling as much or staying in hotels as much.<BR/><BR/>As much as I wanna bitch and complain about more money - I think it's time to just be grateful for having some money.Darius T.

The reality is that many, many people are taking on extra responsibilities as companies get rid of people or freeze hiring. I say count your blessings that you have a good job and that you have an opportunity to prove why you shouldn't get laid off.JACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04748066450299657835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-85701543852813859802008-11-19T17:58:00.000-05:002008-11-19T17:58:00.000-05:00i think im missing the issue here.what i think is ...i think im missing the issue here.<BR/><BR/>what i think is the issue is you are being asked to do work of the job you want without the title and pay because of a hiring freeze.<BR/><BR/>the hospitality industry is being hit hard right now every one is in a hiring freeze including us. hopefully you work for a company that will recognize your work when the freeze is lifted and award you the new position.<BR/><BR/>with people loosing jobs left and right, companies laying off 50,000 in one announcement... im quite happy just to have a job i love and would be more than happy to pitch in during these economic times.C.

Currently we have six position that have to be trimmed by two and the load of the two has to be spit amongst the four remaining.<BR/><BR/>The other option: quit! which is not an option. So we just all do it. Hoping for better times with the realization that the grass is not greener on the other side and that it is best not to jump out of the pan and into the fire.<BR/><BR/>Tired out worn out phrases but they apply. We are all just slaves to their will unless we set up shop and work for ourselves. And having your own business is not a piece of cake either.JOHANNEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351248785067536016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-81386092593953073102008-11-19T12:20:00.000-05:002008-11-19T12:20:00.000-05:00N OMG..I weas just talking abou this to a friend m...N OMG..I weas just talking abou this to a friend man..Why cant I hit the dam lottery ASAP...The corporate world suck balls CAPITAL BPromiscuous Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08079105260714841103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14505243.post-46967546191989950892008-11-19T00:30:00.000-05:002008-11-19T00:30:00.000-05:00I understand you so well my brother.
