I just got off the phone with my FI. His company had a big meeting with all the employees and the CEO''s news wasn''t great. They''ve recently had lay offs and my FI''s job wasn''t affected but the CEO just announced that more lay offs would most likely continue over the next few weeks or months. My FI has no idea if his job will be spared or not. Apparently it''s the kind of situation where you watch people go into a conference room and wonder whether they''re the ones who are being told that they''re being laid off. You either watch them breathe a sigh of relief when they leave the conference room, or you see the pained look on their faces as you watch them head to their desk to start packing. They''re (the higher-ups who are left) also restructuring the company -- three separate offices across the city are now being combined into only two. For now.
Obviously the best thing we can do at this point is just save as much money as possible in case the worst happens. No house hunting and no honeymoon to look forward to (after we changed our plans and everything). There are certainly worse things than this, I know, but it just stinks that we may be starting our married life this way. Our wedding is in three months and I REALLY hope he doesn''t get the news (if he gets it) right before the wedding. Ugh.
