I'm a Heavy Equipment Mechanic, lost my job Feb. 9th of this year. I was working in the Nickel Mines up here and my company cut it's work force in two!!! They laid off about 700 guys, after that happened all smaller companies lost contracts and they had to lay off as well....snowball affect and there is not a job to be had for a mechanic pretty much in the whole Province....unless you want to take a huge cut in pay...to make matters worse, the other mining giant in town decided to force a strike to its 3500 employees, by offering a ridiculus contract to their men...so needless to say its pretty bleek up here in Sudbury, I am about to loose my house...it looks like the hot rod will be sold, as there is a guy coming to look at it on wednesday, and the sled is gone tomorrow, as with my quade, the bank is coming to grab it monday...so ya my life is pretty shitty these days.... Man what a deppressing thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW the tags are pretty funny on this thread and pretty harsh, damn, anybody read those at the bottom of the page?!? I'm unemployed and I'm so lucky I have a hotrod to work on so I don't go crazy.
