WaMu and so on...
I know the employees of that Meredith WaMu office, which was exclusively home loans. They closed that office years ago to 'consolidate'. Layoffs began about 2-3 years ago, as I recall. Funny thing is; one of the agents since went to work for a different agent, and as I recall, it was JP Morgan Chase! Funny how these things come around.
So sorry for those struggling with employment. NH has it a little better than some metro areas I think, but that's little consolation. I'm just glad that our banks are local people (who we know), and not Wall Street Fat Cats. So, even if my job evaporates, I can still feel confident that my savings will still be there. Small consolation, but still...
Does it possibly warrant an occasional mention of job listings on this forum? I understand that we don't know 'who does what' professionally, but I think if we get priveleged information, maybe it couldn't hurt. Just throwing it out there...
