So Thursday after our caravan, I received a message that we were having a mandatory meeting at the office at 2pm. I didn't really think anything about it, but was sort of surprised it was so last minute. I started to get a bad feeling when the President of our company was present and we were all rounding into the conference room.
Our office was being closed by the end of the month which of course was only a few days away. Our broker wasn't closing its doors at all the offices, just my little home away from home.
I felt like I'd been kicked in the stomach. I was really sad. I had nested in my little cubicle for two and a half years. Our location was a really good one and the day they came to shut us down, I got two walk ins - one was a new listing and another that was a good buyer lead. I never felt they did well with eye level signage though and many people still didn't know we were there after more than two years.
I understand that business is to be run as a business and if the company lost a million dollars last year they need to make cuts. But its not like our core group didn't try. And now we're being shoved into another office, with no windows, and definitely no foot traffic. And I'm going to miss my Starbucks and Del Taco being in walking distance. It really is a bummer. I'm sad and I feel like someone has died. I considered a sit in, but I don't think I could last more than a day or so. I really think this is a mistake!!!!!
