well, it seems i got lucky again! my company laid off 1300 employees nationwide, completely shutting down all offices except our main building. the entire wholesale and conduit teams have been eliminated. but consumer direct lending (that would be my department) is completely untouched and safe. for now. funny thing is we're still hiring sales ppl like crazy. i'm really sad cuz i first started out in wholesale and have a lot of friends there that no longer have jobs. they've been told the company will keep them around for 30-60 days to clean out their pipelines (basically close all pending loans) and tie up loose ends. a lot of my current team came from wholesale and/or conduit, so we were all very sad for our colleagues.

the bright side of all this? we're moving offices!!! to the main building which is even closer than my old building (it's in the same city we live, and i can actually see it from around the corner of our house)! so now my commute will be more like 2.5 miles. woohoo!!!! let's hope they move us soon cuz i'm sick of driving!
