One week we were all rushing and freaking to get orders out the door, into the UPS trailer, and onto the sales floors....and now as of yesterday...people have to cut back their hours, people have gotten laid off, and we are all stressing.
I work for a company called "Laser Gifts". We do all sorts of things, like engraving wood products (pens, boxes, key chains, ect). We also make wine corks and engrave them, as well as put lovely stickers on the backs of key chains that are solar powered and flash your name or a saying.
Well, our busy summer season is over and now we are hitting the slow months. We were shipping $100k+ per day, now we are down to about $30-$40k per day. We got too far ahead and now there is little orders to fill....mainly because people aren't traveling for Holiday right now.
I'm not losing my job, but we can't get overtime right now and they are asking us to watch our hours...like stay around 30-35 hours a week....instead of 40 hours.
I wish I could find some little side job to do that would bring me some extra money . I need to have more Oxbow pellets shipped to me, get Sammy into the vet for a flea/tick & heart worm prevention, pay off my credit card, and buy new clothes for this fall (so sick of not having clothes!).
Ughhhh.
