HARD TIMES

This morning when I open my yahoo messenger I chatted with one of my co-worker from the electronic company where I was working before I came to Wisconsin she told me that they are facing hard times.

The company lays off some of the workers especially agency employee that was hired in that company and cutting of working hours and days. They were being told that if the company will not recover from the crisis that they are facing at the moment within six months they are going to file bankruptcy.

I can feel their fear about it, if that is going to happen it is the worst thing because if they lost their jobs it means no food on the table for them especially if you are the bread winner in the family, unlike here in USA people can still collect money from the government for unemployment if ever, whereas in my country they do not get anything and they need to work to support their families and nowhere to go to.

Some people commit crimes because of poverty, they think doing bad thing is the only option they have just to survive and support their family. Hoping we can surpass this crisis.
