Tomorrow I have to lay off 60% of my staff first thing in the morning. Technically I am "laid off" from this location as well, but I am being retained as the operations supervisor and will be working out of Portland.
We don't have all of the logistics of that figured out yet as I was hit with this news at 7:30 tonight.
Not easy on Leslie because it looks like our short term solution is for me to stay in Portland in the RV and come up to Redmond for three days every week. The layoff is temporary, but we have no time frame for when it will end. This is really about Freightliner needing to cut costs.
They have had to stop all production which is affecting their sales, so it could be as little as 2 weeks, but that seems unlikely optimistic. It will probably be more like 6-8 weeks. On the positive side, this might precipitate the last step of the promotion plan, but that is way off into the future.
