I had a really long post thought out but I'll just say that he needs some prayers regarding guidance about his future employment with this company or elsewhere. Long story short, he's been working the job of 2 people for almost a year since they did lay-offs and it's really starting to wear on him.   And now, I just got an email that his boss now expects everyone to work 6 hours Sat and 4 hours on Sunday until this "crisis" is over (that is in addition to the 9-10 hr days he works M-F). Well, let me say that what his boss means by "crisis" is... bottom line...more sales! I'm almost so mad I can't see straight! This upsets me soo much knowing how much he's been struggling already and has been near breaking and now knowing his boss considers this a "crisis" and expects MORE of him. Soo, I prob. need some prayers too to not take my frustration out on my husband even though I know he has nothing to do with it. I already replied to his email that I hardly consider getting more sales with less staff a crisis that requires him working on God's day! Please help me not put more pressure on him.

Ok...so this ended up being long too so thanks for listening.

Oh...also I wanted to say that I know some people have to work on Sundays but I guess since this isn't for altruistic reasons is why it upsets me. This is a new boss too and the pressure he's putting on my husband is obviously trickling down here at home. It's not like he's working a profession that is life or death or dealing with (what I consider) a REAL crisis like helping clean-up the oil spill on the Gulf or dealing with people hit by storms etc. This is a for-profit company selling parts to for-profit companies so it's all about the money. I'm prob. a bit hormonal as well considering we'll be welcoming baby # 4 in 8 weeks and I'm not sure how much thinner I can be stretched and if he's not here, well, ya know...there goes the help.
