Nothing else to say about work other than shit is FLYING!  Scuttlebutt is anywhere between10-12 people were either let go or were given their notices @ Exacta; one of our sister companies within PCC Wichita.  Also, an upper level manager and Weaver’s HR person met with the HR person @ Exacta.  All this in light of the vague all-hands meeting we had last Monday.  I’m not being pessimistic, rather realistic when I say; I think my last day @ Weaver is tomorrow.  I think they have every intent to cut to the bone plant-wide.  I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt it.

Good @ work lunch; The Prose Edda.
The all-hands meeting didn’t help matters much, at least not as far as I was concerned.  Of course they couldn’t comment on WHY she was let go, and only offered cursory explanations of things.  I don’t get it.  Why let one go in favor of another?  It DOES seem Weaver and Exacta will be working more closely together in a few ways, whatever that means.  At present, we’re told nothing is changing.  In the future, who knows?
