Well I've been bitten in the ass once again this month!!! First I suffered a mental illness and was laid up for 2 weeks, oh sure the nurses were gorgeous but eventually I had to leave .

So I get outta the hospital this Monday morning, go tell my employer that I can come back to work asap... WRONG!!! 3 hours later I get a call to come to work they need to talk to me. No worries I'm thinking. Sorry ernie, we have to lay you off due to cut backs etc due to the high fuking loonie.

So here I ponder what bank or old lady to rob lol.. Anyways, war what is it good for??? NOT A ******* THING. Thats what I'm blaming anyways for now. No offense to my friends to the south.

 

sorry to hear that man

 

Your currency is doing well so you get laid off, how does that work?

 

what were you diagnosed with..??

 

cost more to pay people ... internationally speaking...

 

80% of canadian exports have US customers, so when the canadian dollar jumps drastically in comparison to the american dollar, so does the cost of goods from canada for an american buyer, which means they will not buy as much, canadian companies therefore, do not need to produce as much, so they don't need as many workers. The war right now is probably the biggest contibutor to the change of the dollar

 

sucks dude, get well. and get back on your feet! +rep to make you feel better

 

you must be in the manufacturing sector?At least you are in the best place in north america to land on your feet and get another job.

 

Yeah he works at a place that exports a certain thing to the US. Well sold around the world actually. I won't say just in case he doesnt want me to.

On that same topic we Canadians can go buy alot of things in the US way cheaper now! So the tables have turned, so to speak. I doubt this will happen, but the US economy could pick up as far as exports and purchase made to Canada. Interesting topic actually.

Anyways, it SUCKS to hear that Ernie. I do feel bad for you. This type of **** is happening all over around here right now. I sure hope it picks up soon...

 

interested in what that something being exported is lol. Sucks to hear that man i hope the Canadian loonie goes down so that i can buy somethings for a little cheaper lol.

 

lol well I'll tell you that part...

It's RV's, holiday trailers, campers, (whatever you want to call them)

 

thats why i love working my oil related job, i can guarantee i wont get laid off lol, b/c of a high loonie there are too many plants to be built, but dont worry i feel your pain, im currently on EI cuz of training, so i could start my 2nd trade
