So we have been hearing for along time now that Jordan's office is dealing with hard times. The two bosses have cut hours on occasion and told Jordan that he is very useful and they want him to stay.
However this last week they let go of two employees higher up on the rungs to make it easier. They held a meeting this afternoon with the whole office saying that they had to lay off the two men and if they don't get more work within two weeks they will have to either lay off more or cut back hours again.
They are also moving offices next month into a smaller place. Now that could mean that they keep Jordan on until then to help move since he is the youngest and most able to help them move. We think that might be the situation, and if that's the case we have another month at least.
The biggest problem we are concerned about is trying to find a job right now. This is not an easy time to find a job, especially in the field that Jordan has expertise in, Animation and Media Design. He has beefed up his resume with After Effects and video production. If you all hear of anything in these areas that is open, please think of Jordan.
We feel like the next two weeks will determine a lot for our family. Being laid off is a very real possibility, so is a cut back in hours. Both mean hard hard times for us. Especially with Piper on her way within seven weeks... not a great time to be searching for a job or to have to take time off to stay home with a new baby.
So all your prayers are very very much appreciated. We also feel like this is a new chapter in Jordan's life. We knew this job was a band aid for a while, but nothing we wanted to make a life long career out of. Perhaps times are changing faster than we anticipated, it's all in God's hands and time.
Thanks everyone for their prayers and support! We love you all and look forward to what God does in our lives...well, for the most part = )
