According to my mum (who watched the 7:00 news on TV) there has been 8 confirmed stables in Terrey Hills who have tested positive to the Equine Influenza virus. Terrey Hills is a busy suburb, very horsey, so this will have a dramatic effect on the area. One riding school has even had to shut down, laying all its staff off due to the virus. This is the same stables where 3 of my friends ride, one of which just signed a lease agreement YESTERDAY! Another 2 of my friends have horses in neighbouring suburbs, who are not affected yet but most likely soon will be. I hope all your horses are okay, or recovering.

Why would the stable lay all the staff off? Won't they need them when it's over? ( I thought lay off means fireing) I don't think this virus is going to kill off the population. As long as it's contained everything should be fine.

They would have had to lay them off because they aren't actually making any money at the moment. Sure they'll need them when it's over but they can't afford to keep paying them cause otherwise they might possiably go bankraupt. And when it's over they'll just re-advertise the postions and chances are with the amount of people that have been layed off they'll fill them easily.

Oh well I just was thinking they could say we don't need you right now obviously. But when it's all over we'll take you back. Wouldn't that be easier than fireing people? But I guess what do I know.

Prolly but people are silly like that.
And in the mean time the people prolly still need a job to support themselves so they would have to find another cause this is going to go on for a while still. So by the time they are able to afford to pay people again they might already be quite comfortable with the new jobs they have.
It's all kinda confusing....

lol yes very confusing. But I'd rather have a job at a horse stable than anywhere. XD So even if I did work another job I'd be jumping to go back.

i spose if the peeps they got rid of want their job badly enough theyll re- apply, and theyll have a good chance of getting it coz the boss person will know how good they are.
