In rely to the Hovnanian item, I was employed by K. Hovanian for over 7 years. On a November Wednesday I was given a glowing review for my work and on the next day, Thursday, I was given the news that I was included in a 14 person lay off! So much for being told I was a valuable employee. The Charlotte, NC office has had 2 additional layoffs and is down to 5 employees. Oh well, I am enjoying not working---maybe I can even visit Westhope this summer if the price of gas does not go way high.
