You Never Know Why Things Happen

#1 While Robert worked for Wells Fargo we felt that Robert should look for another job. To our surprise the job he got was in the desert.

Shortly after we took the job at the SBDC and we moved, Wells Fargo got rid of almost all of Robert's division. He would have lost his job.

#2 Robert was informed that the SBDC did not have money to fund his office anymore. We were panicked because I was pregnant and it took a long time to find a job.

Because Robert lost his job I was able to stay with my sister when she was ill. As soon as she was better, Robert got hired on with Banco. He REALLY enjoyed that job.

#3 Despite Robert working his tail off, he was informed he needed to "resign" from Banco because he didn't meet his numbers. Had his loans funded a few months earlier we would have kept the job since he ended up being top producer once they all went through.

We moved to DC. Robert found out today that ALL of the Banco employees were laid off as of Dec. 1, 2008. We would be left scrambling for a job in this bad economy.
