Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

losing job...
I can say goodbye to my cushy MB job. I am an auto tech at a privately owned smaller Mercedes dealership. Well, a larger, chain MB dealership has opened it's doors 5 miles from us, and in the month it has been open we have lost more than half of our business. They are also a Maybach dealership, so mine has nothing to compete with. So they announced last night that they are closing their doors before Christmas, and they laid off half the techs. I didn't get laid off last night, but either way...
We have all known it was coming since we realized who was building in the next town over. But last night it was made official.
I have three problems. One, I will probably not be able to get another MB job. I was extremely lucky to get this one as MB prefers people with at least 10 years experience. Two, it's the "Christmas Season" and the slowest season of the auto industry, so NO ONE is hiring. And I mean NO ONE. I work 50 miles from my home, and I have applied at every auto center from my home to my job... I have awesome references, my own tools, schooling, a clean driving record, and experience, so I know it's not me! Third, going from MB to any other job means a GIGANTIC pay cut, maybe as low as half of what I am making.
I don't really want pity, just some prayers that I can get a job before my own job is gone so I am not without work for any time!

I feel cheesy posting this twice, but I am kind of freaking out, as I was called and told not to come in today...
I do have nursing, towing, and clerical skills to fall back on though  It might be neat to get a job in one of those fields for now. Keep my skills sharp.

Oh i'm so sorry to hear that. You have my prayers and best wishes!
I'm out of work right now and i'm actually dreading going back. Its going to become neccessary though. I am hoping to get back into school and hopefully change careers but that won't be for a while.
Take care of yourself, i'm sure you'll be alright and find another job soon.

Best wishes to you!
Danni,
I can relate to your job loss! And do feel for you
I also have to give up something that I would
Rather not! Although a much different situation in my case
But yet still wondering how the bills are going to get paid
It is good you have other skills to fall back on
And hope you do find work very soon! And you will
Keep positive!
Our prayers are with you!
