Sounds like a complaint 'not looking good' and all that.

Do you still get paid full salary or just for the 4 days?.

You said 'Not looking good', which isn't a favourable comment.

So will you have to take a cut in pay? How does it work?

ETA :- Hey BoRED S2upid! You're spooky!!

perhaps he is complaining because he wants to work? if more people had this attitude we as a country might not be in such a mess.

I think most people who work in ANY industry are expecting it to get a lot worse BUT don't mention it you'll get accused of doomongering!

Sorry to hear about your hours, but it is better than no job I guess.

How come? Shirly, recession or not- trucks still need brakes...unless they're moving production somewhere else I 'spose?

That sucks dude. Hope things go OK.
