We had some bad news for one of our ZPO families yesterday. I am sad to report that Boo's husband Chris is going to be let go from our lab due to the takeover. It is so terrible at work right now. Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE is getting let go. Ryan has been offered a position in the Louisville lab, as have a couple of other of the people, but they are shutting down most departments and there are just aren't places to put everyone.
Amazingly enough my department is staying. Of the entire lab and all the scientists (about 20) mine seems to be the only one that is sticking around (2-3 of of us will have a job). They are putting us on a trial run for the next three to six months and then making a decision if we are viable. Great. I think we will be kept, but who knows. Thank God the company wasn't already doing Biomonitoring in Louisville.
Anyways, I wanted to update everyone, and let Boo and Chris know we are all thinking about you guys and that everything will be okay really soon! Chris is taking his exit exam for his massage therapy and can start to look for a job in his field in the next several weeks.
