Don’t worry, not me… but 1/3 of my studio currently is.
Suck…
It’s really scary when this come down. I’ve been in a studio when the announcement is made that they have no more money and that everyone should go home. Yeah, that was a bad day. Is was pretty close but not quite. The studio is hoping and pushing to have everyone back in January, but if I’ve learned anything from my time working is that you can never put your faith 100% in you employer. If you do… well, lets just say that you shouldn’t. So today, after the meeting this morning I started to hit up my friends and contacts in the industry and see how things are everywhere else and if anyone is, or will be, hiring. I do know some people that have told me that I’ll have a job in their studio if I want one, so that’s good to hear.
The other huge problem is having to move to another city. When you’re a single person, picking up an moving sucks but it’s easier to do. But when you’re a family of 4 and a dog… you really have to sit and make hard decisions as to what’s going to happen next.
The whole thing sucks.
Stupid crappy economy…
