Last month my wife's employer went bankrupt and tomorrow my employer is holding a meeting about the financial situation and the consequences. Fun times.

If I may ask, how did it go? Hopefully better than expected for her?

[–] state_electrician@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

She has two interviews set up, hopefully one will turn into a job. But yesterday I learnt my employer will reduce hours for most people to drastically reduce cost. I still hope I'm not affected, because the timing is so not great. I guess I'll have to look for a new job too.

Sorry to hear that =( At least she's got two interviews lined up quickly, and yeah, hopefully one of those will turn into something.

Best of luck to you both.

Thank you. She just called me because the first company just made her an offer already, with 33% more salary and 4 vacation days extra than her current job. Finally some good news! She'll still do the interview on Monday, but things are at last looking better.
