Report From the Frontlines of the Economic Collapse

That's a hard reality. I assume the company has examined options for focus on a different aspect of the industry, like the retro insulation that you mention, as a way to survive? Is there any hope for its future, and yours there? And just as an aside, don't equate your value with your income. We need money for things we need, yes, but you are worth more now whether they are paying you more or not.

No. The "company", i.e., our corporate parent, is tightly focused on satisfying SOX mandates and following the stereotypical corporate playbook. The only recognition that our bread and butter has moved from new construction to retro work was a recent memo that came down warning us about the liabilities associated with old construction and possible asbestos being present.

Our mandate is to be profitable, no matter how minimally, or face shutdown.
