Just the other day the owner of the company that I work for announced that there will be a pay cut for every employee and lay offs as well. I ended up with a 10% pay cut, and on top of that I already took a 25% schedule reduction when I took the engineering job. Pretty sad when the world is effected by the economy of this country like it is. I'm greatful to have a good job, and I'm hoping that we can pull out of this as a company, because we are very good at what we do.
There are several people that are predicting rough times for years to come, but I'm of the opinion that if you are smart enough, you can make anything work out in your favor. I'm positive that Lindblad is good at what they do, and I know they can pull out of this just fine.
The rest of the country is who I feel bad for. Especially the cruise line industry. If you don't have your act together at this point, it's only going to get harder to survive in this business climate. Good luck to all the boat workers out there on those other lines, I know it's going to be rough for you.
The good news is, with the price of oil down so much, it may be some relief. I know I enjoyed the opportunity to do a little four wheeling, and it didn't even cost me half a months savings. Take the good with the bad, right?
