DH's job is one of those that will be cut.
Oh no!
I don't know what we will do for money. We don't have any savings any more. We used them all up in either paying the mortgage at home or accumulating stuff here. We don't have a car here or any real assets. We are going to lose the house back home because we won't have any way to pay for it. We will owe most of a year's rent for the place we are living in now.
HP believes it is ethical, but this is just So Wrong it isn't funny. They made a record profit last year and now want to cut jobs so they can make more money. I'll never buy any of their equipment if I can possibly avoid it. It isn't as if Nathan can just go get another job in HP which is what usually happens with other people who work there. Nathan's work visa is specifically for the job he has now. If he changes jobs, the whole visa stuff starts again.
Our only hope is another job. DH went for an interview in San Jose a bit over a week ago. They *really* want him but it will mean changing visas and that will take a couple of months if not more. With no timeline on the end of the HP job (but presumably soon) we are pretty much screwed.
I don't know what to do. Just sitting and crying seems like a really good option currently.

Hug. I hope you manage to work something out very soon. I will be sending lots of good thoughts in your direction.
Lynne, that is dreadful news. Why on earth did HP go through the hoohah of getting him to go over there for interviews, moving etc. Surely they knew what they were asking of you both to take the job in the first place? Unbelievable.
Re your place here - can't you get rent to cover the mortgage costs? It looks like another job with the hassles of visa arrangements is the way to go. Much luck with that. Surely someone over there will see reason?
Thinking of you

Bah Humbug. That is really unfair and I would be very cross, and I would probably cry a lot too. I can only say that things generally work out somehow, eventually. But now it is all horrid, so The Labradors are sending you wiggly waggly tails and head smooches. No licks though!!wllhbd
Dear Lynne: I am so sorry. My son was hired by Microsoft and when his project was finished he was fired!! Walked to his desk and then out the door. Just The job is done and we don't need you anymore.
I hope Nathan can get on to another very sson. Maybe Quark in Denver??
