MrOs is a civil engineer for a major construction company. He's just phoned to say the MD is coming to their job tomorrow to lay off 60 people. That's 35% of the staff at this particular job. I'm trying not to panic, I'm trying to forget about it until we hear what happens, but with two under two in the house and a sizeable mortgage, it's hard not to worry.
Update: Well, big boss has arrived on site. Everyone is quaking in their boots so I don't think it'll be long now until we know. Please cross your fingers/say a prayer. I'm a wreck here, not helped I guess by the fact that the baybee has been awake teething half the night and woke the 2 year old so I've been up since 5am. A couple of extra hours for worrying, eh? ☹️
Update: His job is safe. I feel gutted for the people who have lost their jobs but I'm obviously very relieved that he's not one of them. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and good wishes. I really appreciate it. I really feel for those in similar circumstances at the moment.
