HR Farewell

Last week marked #2 and #3 of our HR employees saving themselves and pursuing other jobs! Unfortunately, our company is joining the bandwagon and moving to a "shared service" way of handling their human resource functions, which basically means that they will cut jobs and in the end possibly save a few bucks. What it means for our devoted workers is that they lose their jobs. I was the first to go, I took a promotion as a planner/buyer in the front office - not too shabby, a raise, a laptop, no timesheets (I am now exempt, not hourly)!
I finally got back my motivation to go to work every day - it's hard when you feel as though you are in a dead end job, doing the same routine things every day. All I needed was that extra push that the possibility of my job being eliminated to motivate me to pursue another career and I absolutely LOVE it! Here are some pictures of our farewell gathering to Tonia and Ty.
