That's it, I'm moving to Japan...
I work in retail and have been with the same company for almost 11 years. I've always worked full time hours (32-40 per week) even though I have part-time status. Because of this "recession" that hit a few years back, I'm now only scheduled for 10-15 hours per week. Thankfully my husband has a decent job, or we'd be homeless.
On another note (the whole reason I replied to this thread to begin with) I spoke to a postal worker today and got an update regarding the strike. Apparently negotiations are still in the works, and it doesn't look like the post office will be shut down just yet. Mail is still arriving but it may be a few days late. Just in case anyone here may have been concerned![]()
