    Just as I was planning to request a raise on Monday...

    They just laid off 8 guys, 4 electricians (including a foreman), and 4 helpers because contractors aren't coughing up money.

    I JUST got hired back on with them a week ago after they laid me off in March because work was starting to pick up. 2 of those helpers were laid off with me in March and just got laid off again.

    Did you already leave the last job? (The one that you took after being layed off...)

    Yeah, I guess I didn't update you guys, I started back with my old company last Monday.

    Didn't expect to see them lay off half the majority of the boots on the ground.

    Did you burn the bridge with your last employer?

    No, I gave him 2 weeks notice, and even before that I told him my old company might want me back.

    In fact I called him today to ask him if he needed any helpers. I'll try to pass the info along to the younger guys that got laid off.
