T.A.P. Q#372 – New Owners Cut My Hours – Bad Sign?
November 13, 2009 by sparktalk
Dear Experts,
We got new owners at the place I work at. Since they’ve arrived many changes have been made, the majority of them for the better. One change is not for the better though. They have cut my hours in half!
Is this a sign they are trying to get rid of me? Is there anything I can do to ensure my job stays safe?
