Oi. I'd say there's a 33% chance that I am unemployed by the end of the year. The politics where I work are pretty insane, and certain powers are pushing to cut my company loose, not renewing our contract in November. I'm going to do as much ass kissing as I can over the next few months, but nothing is guaranteed.
I contacted my best friend, who landed a job managing a gun range a few months ago, and asked if he might be hiring anytime soon. His response: "I just got word that we are closing down..."
Welp, there goes that!
So now I need to double my efforts, because not only would 15 or so people be out of the job, but my Best Friend's safety net was this job. I'd hire him back in half a heartbeat. The only positive is that we both have a little weight when it comes to being each other's references
