View Full Version : Please Pray For My Job Situation
Some business circumstances have been up in the air that could affect my employment. Those circunstances resolved themselves today in a way that makes me almost certain I will not have a job in a couple of months.
I should know a little more in a couple of days. It is just about the worst economic climate ever to be looking for a job so that is the worrisome thing.
Nine months ago I was turning down job offers but now the situation has changed. Please pray that God's will be done. I would love a miracle and to be able to continue my employment with my present company. They have great benefits and I am grandfathered in with both a pension plan and a 401K. That is rare today.
God is well able CC1. I am going to pray that this situation will be a catalyst for a better job situation for you. I firmly believe that will be the case.

Praying for you here too - need everyone to pray for a couple that rents one of my houses - the husband just lost his job too - wonderful couple with a new born baby - I am fortunate that I have not been affected by the economic crisis so since God has blessed me I feel we have a duty to help others in need so my husband and I felt we needed to step out in faith tell them to not worry about rent until he gets a new job - so pray for that couple also.

Thank you everybody for your kind words and prayers. Tomorrow I meet with my boss while he is in town so I hope to have a clearer idea of what my future holds.
I am at the very high end of the pay range for my particular job so that makes it tough in these times! They can hire a kid out of college and pay him half what they pay me. I have a very specialized skill set that is now no longer needed as we lost the account I deal with.
Luckily Mr. Steinway has a very large house so I can go live with him! LOL!!!

I'll have to ask Mrs. Steinway! She may have Mrs. CC1 come to stay, and me and you may have to find a tent somewhere! :ursofunny

Well my meeting with my boss got postponed as he did not make it into town after all. Something came up and he was diverted to another location. Now we are set to meet on Monday.
Lucky me. I get to wonder all weekend what he has to say!

Thank you everybody for your prayers. I found out today that I will be keeping my job. My responsibilities are going to be different and the work load is going to be crazy but the plan gets me involved in some intersting new areas that benefit my career path. Because I will have about three areas of responsibility vs. one in the past I will not be as subject to one thing changing possibly costing me my job if it goes away.
Almost as important as me keeping my job is that my new responsiblities allow me to still be based out of the town where I live. For a time it looked like I was probably going to have to move to a city I don't want to move to in order to continue to work for my company at their Corporate HQ.
Everybody pray for strength for me as it looks like this might now be a 60+ hour week job!!!!

That's great news, CC1. If nothing else, you can look for something else that is more reasonable. My husband works that much and it is ridiculous but so often, there isn't much choice and many are just glad to have a job!
awesome news. I am sorry I didnt ask about this when we talked today.
