Feeling the Economy Woes

I don't know about everyone else, but the whole "economy downturn" has seemed like a lot of nonsense to me. I mean, I hear about it every day, but I guess it has not personally affected me yet, so therefore it doesn't exist? Well the reality finally hit close to home Friday. I was debating as to whether or not I should even write about this, since nothing is "official" yet, but I think writing about it will relieve some stress. I had a meeting Friday to discuss a big meeting that my work is having tomorrow (Monday). Well I honestly did not think too much about this meeting. There were a few things that I knew were going to be discussed, but nothing that I really needed to worry about. That was until my boss told us that right now our region has 4 people that do my job. The company has goals to lower that number to 3 people. Hmm, I wonder who is going to go? My heart sank and I was literally devastated. I have only been at this job since October and I have the least experience out of the group. I am not sure what exactly is going to happen, if anything. All I know is that my job may be drastically changed in the next month-if I even have a job. I was reassured that I may be transferred somewhere else, but there is no guarantee of that. I don't know, like I said, none of this is really official. I don't know what will happen. I just hope it all works out.
