We got an email this morning from the bosses at work. Due to the economic situation, they are eliminating paid time off - holidays, vacations, sick days - effective immediately. For me, that means 7 holidays and 3 weeks vacation down the drain. Gone. Probably never to return. I don't know how many single mothers especially can afford to cover not only holidays but an occasional vacation/sick day unpaid. I know I can't, at least not on my own. The question now is, do I immediately start to look for another job? Wait a month or two and see what happens? I have had concerns about this employer for several months with the decrease in workload and have been afraid something would happen, but I never thought it would be this. I hate changing jobs. Hate it - hate it -hate it. Especially in my field, where you don't have face-to-face interviews and things like that. You have to make a decision based on telephone calls and internet message boards, which are notoriously one-sided to the bad.
So, right now, I need wisdom and guidance. Please pray that I will listen to what the Heavenly Father has in store for me. Is this the kick I needed to change jobs? Do I just need to be patient? Right know I don't know. I do know that I need to let God lead on this; I'm just afraid I will talk so much, I won't hear him. I am grateful that I still have a job, I just don't know what to do with it.
