How are you coping with the Economic crisis?

[The Imperial Navy]

Seeing a few people noting they'd lost their jobs, I ponder how you are coping in the current climate?

As for myself, I work for Tesco, a multinational Supermarket, which is still reporting record profits despite the financial crisis. I got a payrise this year, which pretty much shows how well they're doing. Everyone still needs to eat eh?

The way things are looking Tesco is one of the last places that will go under. To put it simply, I seem to have chosen the right career. As crappy as it may be.

How about you?

[Dyakovo]

I haul toilet paper, so as long as people don't get so poor that they can't afford to wipe their asses any more, I'm okay...

[Jello Biafra]

I also work in a supermarket. My raises are guaranteed via a union contract.

[L3 Communications]

I work at Gamestop.

This tells you how awful I'm doing.

[Cameroi]

well i didn't have a job to loose, and now i could use one, or something.
the more people are in the same situation though,
the sooner maybe we'll all figure out it's up to us to help each other.

[The Black Forrest]

Don't worry the free market will solve all things. Jobs for everybody; world hunger; cancer, aids, education, the environment, who shot jfk!

Seriously:

Severely cutting all discretionary spending. Keeping the cars for much longer. Canceled all Credit cards.

Wifey is going to loose her job so that is a bad hit. God only knows how long she will be out of work......

[EvilDarkMagicians]

I don't. The crisis haven't affected me at all, been on two great holidays this summer holidays. I'm a teenager so I try and not worry about these things.

[Tiesabre]

I just got a job with security firm doing security at Allstate at a processing facility.

I so happy right now.

[United Russian State]

I work at a tea shop. I don't really have much to do till next May. My mother still has a job. What I willing be doing is in no risk. As the economy gets worse for the world more people will be needed for my plans in career.

I want to save as much money as I can, to visit Serbia sometime in future.

[Lizardiar]

Crisis? What crisis? It is a glourious day in our Peoples Republic.

[Neu Leonstein]

Dad's lost his job early on, we're coping somehow trying to put together a little business, fighting government bureaucrats of the health-inspecting kind. Apparently one can't make dog food on less than 36m², for it would be unhealthy then...

I myself am doing better, my job tutoring at uni is a safe one and pays okay, and I have a graduate job lined up for next year. Not the kind I might have gotten before the crisis, but still a pretty sweet deal.

[Call to power]

I lose my job on Friday sorta because of recession but more because I got stuck in Texas >.<

other than that I can't really complain I usually find jobs pretty fast and it looks like the worst is over at any rate[naive]

[Newmanistan]

I personally am unaffected. I have had a steady well-paying job for nine years now with a company not experiencing any kind of slowdown. My family, pretty much all employed in medical fields, also have nothing to worry about. In fact, five months ago, I was given a decent raise. My personal "economic crisis" was in 1999 & 2000, but no one cared then. Because of this role reversal of sorts, I've personally enjoyed making comments like "its no big deal" towards things that others are cutting out or if I make a big purchase, because ten/eleven years ago the same people were doing the same thing in my face.

[Scarsaw]

I spend my entire paycheque to help the economic community, by contributing. I have a really secure job, guarantee not to be laid off, so I figured the best I can do is just keep investing and hope it won't hurt others TOO bad.

[Rhodmhire]

I've invested in hats, condoms, McDonalds, and women.

Four things male American citizens will never have a lack of interest in.

That's how everyone should cope with any economic crisis, in America anyways.

[Maerngau]

Teacher here, still have my job. We might go on strike though, which should be interesting.

[EvilDarkMagicians]

I'm seirously so rich that it has not affected me at all.

[Rhodmhire]

I work at Gamestop.

Is it true?

Lies and slander.

No slander on my part but on yours for calling me a lier.

We got a Gamecube behind the desk.

No I don't sleep, but it is boring when people just walk in, look around for five seconds at the used games shelf and then walk out.

[Maurepas]

Im doin alright, business is actually booming for Biloxi City Cab....cause all the other companies are dying off and we are acquiring them,

[Maurepas]
