H just text me an said that it has finally happened. His company is just about out of work and starting tomorrow some people are going to have to start taking unpaid time off. He isn't sure who those people are yet.
He is one of only three civil engineers at the company (one other is the owner and the other is the owner's SIL) and their entire company only employs about 30 people max at a time (counting survey crews which are only hired as needed). He doesn't think he will get laid off but in the back of my mind I really can't help but worry about that being a major possibility. I don't want to voice that concern to him yet, at least not until we know more about what's going on. I'm just getting worried =(. If he can stick it out for one more year he can take his boards and once he passes that so many more opportunists will be available but if things keep going this way he may not be able to stick it out another year.
I know I should be thankful he has a job and I really really am thankful for it, it's just scary thinking he may not at some point in the near future..
