We learned yesterday that my son's job has virtually been eliminated.
He is a part-time worker working four days/16 hours a week, and it has been cut down to one day and four hours.
He is developmentally disabled, and finding another job is going to be difficult at best, as it was difficult finding this one.
My son has been working since he was 15 years of age, and at age 29, he has done a variety of jobs, all part time.
His current position is in an office setting, and I would love for him to continue in an office, where he can learn new skills, but beggars can't be choosers.
Really, if there is a position in Eastern Nassau County or Western Suffolk County, that would be great.
He cannot drive, but I will be his transportation, as I have been.
He has a resume and cover letter.
Please, if you know of anything, let me know.
This has hit my family hard, as ironically, we were going to ask his work for an increase in hours; now, just the opposite has happened.
We went through hell getting him this job, and he wouldn't have it if it wasn't for a guardian angel who helped us.
And then the pandemic came, and he lost his job a little after I lost mine, and I spent a huge amount of time looking for both of us.
When the pandemic settled, I went back to his old workplace, and he was rehired.
And if you were thinking like I was, no, they say it has nothing to do with the unemployment rate going up; it has to do with the lack of work that is available to him in his workplace.
I do believe them, but the coincidence is kind of interesting.
Whatever the case, he is heartbroken, my wife and I are upset, and we are back at square one, just like we were a few years ago.
It seems the black cloud over my family just continues its wretched path.We surmount one problem, and before we can take a deep breath, another problem arises.
And I thought 2025 would be a good year ... !
He has worked since age 15, and I just know that he would be a good fit somewhere ...
Where that "somewhere" is, I don't really know.
Can anyone help?
