Uncertainty about my job is something I had never experienced until today that is. However, today we got a memo from our City Manager, indicating that there will be budget cuts throughout city departments.
I must admit these are scary times, and I am not sure how to feel about this. I am not truly concerned even if they were to have lay offs, only because I have been with the city for eight years, but some of peers have been there less than one. I am not quite sure how they determine who stays and who leaves, but having a good working records should keep me out of the scary zone.
I find it amazing how only three years we had a booming economy, our daily revenue was very decent and now days we have one good day and two or three not so good. In all honesty, some builders got over zealous and started building without considering the alternate circumstances, I just hope that we begin to see a difference soon.
On Thursday, management will meet with other department managers to come up with better solutions to increase our revenue yet continue with great customer service, which is something we at the City of Scottsdale take pride in, our great customer service.
So I will pray for positive resolutions, until then. Will keep you posted.

Good luck on the budget cuts. It seems like this is pretty common in all sectors of the job market right now. Which sucks because I have to start looking for a full-time job in the next few months.....
That is really scary, sorry you have so many cuts. We just got a message today at my school (I teach high school) that the government will no longer fund Academic Decathlon. So many extracurriculars are cut - it's really sad. At least there is still a demand for teachers, I can be happy about that.
