This is a non-wedding rleated vent. My FI started a new job in October. He loves his job, it challenges him, he makes good money, and he finally is on the same schedule as me (cat eye). We are finally at a point where we are comfortable and can afford the wedding we want, as we are paying for it ourselves.
He works for a national company, so it has offices all over the county. There is a tower closing down in a city about an hour and a half from us, and at any time at this company, if a person with more senority wants your job, they can have it. His job currently has two job openings, which was great. He had about a zero chance of getting laid off because most of the people from the twoer were supposed to retire.
He goes into work tonight and now finds out that all of those people may not be retiring, and if more than 2 people decide to come to our town he will get laid off. There is another tower much closer to where their tower is but, I don't know if they will choose that tower or not.
His boss happens to be one of my co-workers, and she always tells me that he shouldn't listen to the people he works with because they just like to scare people. I'm praying this is one of those times. I will be texting her bright and early to see if we could at least get an answer. I can't sit on this for a week.
I also have OCD, so I'm already an anxious person, and can;t really ever tell when a situation is something I should worry about or not. I just always worry.
Needless to say, I won't be getting much sleep tonight. I don't know what we do if he gets laid off. We make almost the same amount, so it would be cutting our salary in half. We could maybe live on my salary alone.
No matter what, I know we are fortunate either way, because this isn;t the worst thing that could happen. I just pray he didn't give up a stable job for this job and then ends up laid off.
We also live in a town where jobs like this never come around. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and if he gets laid off, he probably won't ever have a chance to make this kind of money again.
CN: FI may be getting laid off because someone with more senority might be bidding for his job.
