When I worked construction and a job was ending, you'd find out Friday if they needed you back. They'd put your name on a list Monday and other jobs could pick you up if no one did, you'd have someone from HR come by and walk you through cobra insurance and hand you the forms for your unemployment, and then you had 30 minutes to pack your shit and go. Weeks on end of wondering every Friday if you had a job next week. This was during 2008/10 and all our jobs that we had won got sent for rebid and the company declined to bid on them again. Lost all the work we had lined up and no one was hiring. I was a real grind, guys expecting kids and hoping to get the baby delivered before the lost their health insurance. |
