The Meeting Aftermath

Well. It was not what I was expecting, almost worse.

Everyone in advertising and news has to re-apply for their jobs. They are eliminating 20 advertising and 50 news jobs.

The position that I have, which is technically two right now, account manager and account executive, they added one more account manager position and they have 17 account executive positions. There are 19 account executives right now, but they are eliminating jobs from managers and sales associates, so the account executive position is going to be a tough get against some managers.

It is quite honestly, insane. I mean, we have to re-interview for our jobs, which mine is on Monday. And we may or MAY NOT be offered them back. I mean, WTF. I understand why they need to do this but its going to be a really shitty next two weeks. How are you supposed to work under those conditions and actually pitch to advertisers for them to advertise with us?! I mean, I was definitely never RA RA go my company or anything like that, but now? You except me to go along with my business and sell! sell! sell! while this may or may not even be my position in 2 weeks? Really?

Way to motivate..

Ah Craziness

Hellooooo!!!

I am sorry I have been MIA :(

Between being off on Monday and down the shore, and having to be out of the office cold calling new clients and selling stuff, I haven't had time to do anything. Ugh... now today we have a meeting to talk about how they are going to restructure our advertising department. GREAT. So that means more layoffs, and probably going to be huge.

Let me recap these past few days for you.

~LBI was AWESOME! I had a great time with my family and my 2 friends came down and it was awesome. I haven't been that happy in a while! It was great. I have more pictures to post, but I have to upload them on my computer at home first, so here are a few pics

We met up with my friend J from work at a bar in Seaside and had a greattttttt time! I met some peoples, it was fun :) I got pretty tan for my, as being Irish and not getting tan at all lol I am DEF tan!!!! It was really nice to spend so much time with my family, even though it was only 3 days, it was good.

And then last night I was at the Yankee Game, WHICH was awesome because they won!! And we had a great time, EXCEPT for the part where my friends neighbor offered to drive us home so we went and then he got side swiped on the Major Deegan on the way home. Everyone was okay and it wasn't that bad of an accident so they could still drive the car back home. Damn.... shoulda taken the train.

Oh and to top it all off..... T has not spoken to me since Thursday, except for the big fight that we had on Monday night when I got back from the shore. Giving me attitude the minute I walked in, calling me selfish and only caring about myself, telling me he was already gone and that he doesnt care at all. Great. I told him to get the fuck out then. So he did. But he came back like half hour later and slept on the couch.
Awesome. It was too late so I didnt even want to continue arguing. So we havent talked since then either.

Ugh ... I am so stressed! I should have never came back from the shore.

Okay now I have to go to this meeting and find out if im getting fired or not...


I HOPE everyone else is having a better Wednesday :)
