This just in: The threat of losing your job and trying to find another one in an economy where living is constantly getting more expensive results in an increased level of fear, anxiety, and deppression....
I was recently told my services were no longer needed. I was the lone supplier quality engineer for 30 plants where a majority of our suppliers were in Mexico and their English was limited at best. They hired someone in Mexico and got rid of me in less than a week.
For months, I told my boss I could not handle all the supplier issues our plants are having by myself. On a given day, I'd get between 70 to 120 emails with about a third of those being in English.
Jesus. Good luck finding another job, it sounds like it literally could not be worse than your old one.
The beatings will continue until morale improves!
