Am I fired?

I might loose my job. I just bought a condo, haven't even made the first payment, and I might loose my job.

There's been some corporate "restructuring" going on at my work. It began here, in a restaurant. This restaurant is owned by a larger corporation of movie theaters, restaurants and car dealerships. Well, the concessions for the theaters and the restaurants ordered their products through the same shipping dock that did all the ordering, handling and delivering of product. The dock was charging this restaurant far beyond what they were supposed to, which drastically altered the books and caused a trickle down of profits. When they decided to find out why there was no profit, they found many more "discrepancies". On their search, they found more things to get rid of. The term used is "trimming the fat." Once word got out about all this, combined with the economy, the result was massive job loss.

My department has been dissected and split and I wasn't on "the list" of people being deployed to new areas. Currently, my position is up in the air. To top it, this particular restaurant has been sold and is no longer part of the "big" corporation of which I'm employed. It worries me a bit.

I just bought a new home. We haven't even made the first payment and I might lose my job. Go ahead, ask me how I'm doing.
