Just hang in there Firewall. They are trying to improve things here first by trying to retain all their present staff. We really do not know how much worse it can get or what else will effect us here.
But since you made it to the final stage, the moment they are prepared to have more crew, they will surely call you. I wish you the best of luck. I've been here nearly four years now, and I'm pretty worried too.
I hope no retrenching of staff is required. The chairman is really trying to avoid that, as far as we know.
You just take care now and pray for the best for the rest of us here too.
