Turn for the worse.
So anyone who knows me and what I have been through over the last few months knows about my first dotcom collapse. I had been working at LearningBrands.com for only six weeks and they called us all together and sadly told us the news. Having just moved my family to Massachusetts from New Jersey, it was imperative to get a new job fast.
After a bunch of interviews and tons of searching, I connected with a local company that had heard about me through another source and they wanted to interview me. I went in to see them, and after a few interviews they offered me a position on their small (15 people) team.
I have been here for six months, and I won't pretend that they have been the best months that I have ever had at a company, but not the worst. The job that I am doing might as well be called Haberdasher, for all the hats I wear on a given day. Last week they called us in to a meeting. Due to cash flow issues, they reduced everyone to 80% pay and have now closed the office on Fridays.
Lots of thinking to do. More on this tomorrow.
