Some of you may have heard on the local news yesterday that Enterprise Rent-a-Car laid off two hundred employees in the IT field. This is the exact place where Mike works. An e-mail was sent out on Monday morning telling all the employees that they regretfully would have to lay off some people. As you can imagine there was a buzz wondering who would be laid off and who wouldn't. Mike told me on the way home from work and I just prayed that it would not be him. Tuesday morning he went in and those who were being laid off were invited to a meeting at 9:30 am where they learned their fate. Mike, thank the Lord, was not among them. When he called me to tell me I was very relieved and yet very saddened that so many others had to loose their jobs at a time like this. They are saying they will not lay anyone else off for now except in the branch offices. All I can say is that yesterday was a very emotional day for everyone. Mike did loose a few people that he worked with including a good manager. He said the mood was very somber at work.
