I have been waiting for this for the last few days.
The mailman delivered IT this morning.
A letter that states...
"Please be advised that unfortunately due to current economic conditions you will be laid off from your employment at Wabush Mines, commencing on February 16th, 2009 and continuing until notice of recall is issued. At this time the company anticipates that the layoff will continue until at least the middle of 2009."
Yes, I lost my job!
Working as a heavy equipment operator with Wabush Mines has been my regular day job for the last 5 years. It pays really well with full benefits for me and my family. The last few weeks we heard the company will be laying off almost 50% of its workforce!
The other nearby iron ore mine here in Labrador City, IOCC is also expecting to get hit with massive layoffs.
Unfortunately this is all we hear everyday now with the world continuing to plummet into an economic downturn. As the iron ore mines here supplies the steel to markets such as China, they rely on the demand for steel in order to produce.
As devastating as this news is to my family. There is a silver lining.
We had plans to leave our jobs here this spring anyway and move to western Canada, specifically Calgary to pursue our passions and a higher quality of life.
This would allow me to follow my passion in health and fitness and work full time on my Dad Fitness business. My wife already has no problem to transfer her job as a Wildlife Biologist.
The mailman said "I am sorry" as he passed me the envelope holding a huge stack of these letters that everyone around this small town expects to get today.
Looking over the letter there must of been a mistake.
They forgot the line: MERRY CHRISTMAS!
I honestly believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason.
If you and your family is effected by this worldwide downfall post your comments I will continue to invest in the only thing that is in my control, my HEALTH.
To invest in your health, join me and get started with
==>The Dad Fitness System.
It's comes with a 100% risk-free guarantee. Unlike some other things in life...

Hey Sean,
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your unfortunate circumstances, but you know as well as I do that your calling is to help other busy dads achieve their goals.
This is your stepping stone to greater things and definitely an opportunity in disguise.
I wish you all the best, my friend.
If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know.
Sincerly,
Chris Lopez
