I heard that at our morning meeting, they were told that all PT folks will be cut to 20 hours.  That really scares me, because it could put a lot of people in financial trouble.
According to the local paper, W*M is one of the few companies that's consistently hiring.  So that narrows the field a lot, if you need a job with more hours.
I figure it will also but more pressure on those of us who are left.  Sometimes it feels like I can't do any more, but then, a lot of times I can.  It makes me even more grateful to have a steady job, with insurance.  My older sister works in the home health care business, and it is such a racket!  She can only get the jobs through an agency, so that means no insurance.  She spends about $1000/month on medication.  Thank goodness my Mom was able to buy her a condo, so she should always have a place to live.
