Hmmm...was rather afraid this might happen. DH's job has delayed his start date by an entire month. Nothing like getting your potential hires to stop looking for another job and then put them on hold. The excuse is a lack of people to train because they are too busy.
So the resume's are going back out and a couple of temp agencies are looking for work for him. Gambling on this company a second time would be a fool's choice in this economy.
Poor DH feels guilty because he stopped accepting interviews (he had 4 additional offers) when he accepted this job and then they wait till the week before he starts to let him know they have delayed by a month. Doesn't bode well for the type of work environment, maybe he should take this as a warning and run for the hills.
Ah well so I have adjusted the cashflow (lowered debt payoff) so that it doesn't stop us in our tracks. Unfortunately, that is another month of income lost at minimum. Not the most ideal time but c'est la vie, when does life ever happen at the ideal time.
My only concern is that if my job gets cut at the same time he is still looking. As long as one of us is employed, we are safe but none is not going to cut it. At least everyone seems to think I am indispensable at work. Not that that matters if the company goes under but barring that I should be good.
