Layoffs.

Scary word right? Last week every department in Pebble Beach Company was read a letter from the CEO. Basically the just of it was…
-The economy is tough right now and businesses are hurting
-A company wide reduction in hours worked (which results in one day off every two weeks for me!)
-29 people were laid off from the company
-two stores would be closing indefinitely
-one hotel would be closed for an entire month

What a somber day here. Most people knew that something was going to be done to combat the situation, but I did not expect drastic measures so soon. I still think Pebble Beach is a good company to work for, but I still am not 100% confident I will have my job past March. I mean I have been pretty busy lately but still hope the sales managers can really step it up a notch. It can happen because staying at Pebble Beach Resorts and playing the courses is truly a once in a lifetime event. If you know anyone who wants to play, send them my way. We are offering some great rates.

Elections

Elections,
Yesterday I was invited to a prayer meeting for the elections. I thought it would be a great idea to go, until I saw this video of John Piper talking about the election. It reminded me that although I do need to pray, God is still sovereign.
