Thoughts and prayers are with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-newsgood-news#post-55856 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 13:07:12 +0000 mrs. wagon 55856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good thoughts and prayers your way!!! I know it can be so tough... we actually kind of stupidly conceived when I was unemployed (laid off at beginning of recession) and Rob Sr. was in a job going nowhere... ever since then it's been a struggle. We have been so blessed because every time a new expense came up, we got a bump somehow. When my unemployment ran out after we had RJ, Rob Sr. got a new, higher paying job. We both worked several part-time jobs to cover the cost of me staying home for a while. When RJ went into daycare, I got an amazing new job. Rob Sr. is up for a promotion soon, so that will be the first time in over 3 years that we'd be a little ahead of the game financially. Just stay positive and good luck!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-newsgood-news#post-55805 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:54:06 +0000 GreenThumb 55805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know what that's like... my husband was laid off for the year right before our wedding. It was a tough struggle to stay positive and financially sound. I'm sending my thoughts your way! Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-newsgood-news#post-55802 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:50:58 +0000 MamaMoose 55802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good luck!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bad-newsgood-news#post-55801 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:49:05 +0000 owlmom 55801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry you guys are going through this.

Layoff's are normal but usually only last a month.</p> <p>At first they were telling him he'd back to work right after Thanksgiving, then the 1st of January, now they've set the arbitration meeting up for next week and they could be back to work the 1st of Feb.<br /> Our medical benefits run out the end of this month, and Maddy has her 4 month well baby appt + shots coming up on the 13th of Feb. </p> <p>Yesterday his union rep called him about this arbitration meeting (in the beginning of all of this they said he was 100% coming back, no arbitration).<br /> It could go 1 of 3 ways;<br /> 1) The superintendent will call him and offer his job back and he can say yes or no with no backlash.<br /> 2) The arbitration board will say yes bring him back with back pay to the lay off date.<br /> 3) The arbitration board could say no, he's fired for good.</p> <p>If he takes his job back from the superintendent then he'll get no back pay and he'll still have to attend the meeting. The board can over rule the superintendent and tell him no as well.<br /> The rep also told him that out of all the guys they laid off he is the only one that the superintendent is recommending they bring back. The only good part of this whole thing.</p> <p>I'm about at my wit's end. I'm praying harder than I ever have before, we need his job back STAT! Could you please keep us in your thoughts, we're on the verge of sinking majorly if something doesn't happen soon. </p>
