The Economy

Who has been affected by the downward spiral of our economy? Either directly or indirectly?
I'm in the car business and my salary has dropped probably 60%. Anybody else feel my pain? Lets hear it!

anyone in sales.......me..........has been directly affected.

problem is the stuff I sell is a luxury item for businesses. everyone I talk to is cutting rather than adding.

oh well...soldier on and hope for the best

I am a manager in a Steel Processing plant. We ship directly to Toyota. This has us taking days off of production (7 total in January) and 8 upcoming in February. In order to be paid for these days we must use our personal time or vacation time and we have the option not to get paid at all.

It is a tough time for everyone and doesn't look like it will get better for awhile.

I think I'm pretty good at what I do, but a little limited when the business isn't coming to us.....All the sales that I have had, have been from me busting my ass getting whatever leads I can......hopefully the tax season will bring people back on the lot.

Millennium Steel Service LLC we supply TMMI, TMMTX, Nummi, CA and TABC in Carson, CA

It has hit us but some other suppliers have laid off already. We have had continued employment for all of our managers and floor staff. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
