Personal Investments
My other half has stock in the company that he works for. Though maybe not for much longer. He has been with this company for more than 15 years now as a full time employee and recently he found out that many of the employees there are getting their hours cut drastically.
Now this is a large well known company and they just hired in several thousand people nationwide to help with the unemployment rate. Now it isn't right to do this while cutting hours of those already working and working hard.
My old man's hours haven't yet really been cut. Actually just a couple of hours (2 to 3 per week have been cut). That isn't bad, but some have been cut to only 3 days per week.
If things get much worse he may get rid of his stock because he is seriously unhappy with what is going on. It is honestly the first time I have ever seen him this upset over ANYTHING!!
