One of the worst things happened Friday at work, (or not, depending on if I wake up from the dream.) After 90+ years in the trailer business, my company told most of it's employees that their services were no longer needed and they'd be ceasing all trailer service at the Milwaukee location. Maybe the opening of the Racine location in December wasn't such a good idea after all.
For over 20 years I've worked with these great men and consider them friends. Several have been at the company their entire career, some over 30 years. It's very troubling to me that this was allowed to happen, and since it was my grandfather who founded it, my sorrow runs especially deep.
My job is uncertain. I'm not union, so for now I'm safe. My main concern today is the many employees at both locations who lost their jobs and their families. When I say a prayer for them at mass today I hope it will be answered and I'll wake up.
