I became unemployed the last day of December. My company let 8 people go, the reason was lack of work. I found a great job in days. Before the week was over I had another job. The CFO who I reported to quit. A week later I was let go from the job. The company was insolvent and could not pay their bills. They were shut down. A few weeks later I found another job, not a good one, but it would pay the bills. It was a co being ran from his house A small co, but very reputable. I worked one day, and received a call from the owner the following morning and he said, he felt that I should be making less, and apologized for wasting my time. He told me that he could not afford to pay me. I'm beginnging to think I'm bad luck. I have a mortgage and kids to feed. I'm seriously frustrated. Why do employers do this.
