The sky is falling...

Or is this much ado about nothing? http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article/106331/ read the article and you decide. What I will say working in an industry that is driven by construction what we are seeing is, companies large and small have retooled their efforts, case in point is 12/31/08 both Knight Transfer Inc, (based in Michigan) and Dumpstr Xpress, Inc. (based in Arizona) are set to have very heavy days, from previous jobs during the holidays there has been a feeling of "Eh it's the holidays, let's give everyone the day off!" now, what I am hearing more and more is "When we have the work, let's work, because who knows if we'll have it again!" Perhaps a sluggish (if not stalled) economy will help all of us work harder, smarter, and maybe even thin the heard so to speak regarding the "not so go getters" of the world! These are scary times no doubt about it! But one thing to remember we are all in this together, when the dust clears (and it will!) who will be left standing? The people who had the stomach for change and the companies that did everything they could to survive. One more suggestion before I climb down off of my soap box, every business person regardless of what field should read "The world is flat" Thomas L. Friedman. That's all Good day!
