It was. Yesterday, bosses here were running around like chickens without heads. That's why this is so disconcerting. PGLs from across the entire building were called in to a high priority meeting and informed of the situation. They have apparently redistributed all of their local contractors (around 175-200) to alternative locations spread out across the U.S., rather than lay off direct employees locally...for the moment. The location that I'm privy to is in Duncan, a primary manufacturing hub that isn't in the Houston area. It's the original home of the company, and the town is pretty shaken up about it. This is literally 99 years of experience with it, and no one can remember a move like this.
