Say a prayer please...

As of 3/28 my husband along with a lot of ther people will be out of a job. Ford is pulling their franchise and as of the month the dealership will be no longer.

On a positive note word has already gotten out among other dealerships that they will be nol longer and some have already said they might have job opportunities. DH has already gotten a call from a dealership across the street from them that they would like him to come in for a interview. It would mean working 6 days a week again and he has no idea what may or may not be a benefit package or the salary since it's a non union shop but it might be a stepping stone to at least keep him employed. I've also had people in the office who know people at dealerships that would be willing to make phone calls.

This is just so sad. So many of these guys have been together for 30+ years and have been loyal employees.

Naturally this is a huge blow for us and monetarily a huge issue if he doesn't find something.

Please keep us and of course all the other people and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Susan

Susan thinking of you guys and sending you my prayers. I know what you are feeling. Email me if you want with some information. My Bill knows a lot of people on the island. What does your husband actually do? Is he the service writer or a mechanic? Fords, right? How far will he travel?

I know this is a real blow, Susan, and can remember all too well what it felt like when a previous co. Tim had went under -- very frightening. Things are pretty tough now too, so I'm doing a lot of praying and will sure add you and your DH to them, as well. Hope this is a blessing in disguise so that something better comes along.


Hugs,

Big hugs Susan for you and DH. So sorry to hear this. It is a big blow to all. It is encouraging to hear that he has leads already. I will keep him in my prayers and keep my fingers crossed that the interview goes well and he gets another job right away.


Hugs
