Recession

The poor economy has hit us at Anheuser-Busch. In the past two weeks, 7 people have gotten laid off. One person in my department. We were already down a person. Now, 4 people will (permanently) being doing the work of 6. I know that is the case all over the country in many, many companies. My "development plan" for 2009 included cross-training in materials & shipment planning. Now, it will be a necessity! My training has been ramped up, and I'll take over some of those duties in the next couple weeks! I'd better learn fast! Yikes!
