Right There With (Many of) You…
Posted by Kstraw on February 20, 2009
Each day that goes by, more news is released about the economy, job losses and the effects of changes within companies. At DealTaker, we pride ourselves in the fact that we are here to help in the good times and the bad when it comes to shopping, finding deals, and developing unique ways to make a dollar worth more than a dollar.
Stretching those dollars became a little more personal for the DT staff yesterday. Our parent company announced that we are to be taking a mandatory 10 days off over the course of the rest of the year without pay – a furlough. It is something that caught us off guard, but at the same time seems to be in line with what so many other people, at companies from all walks of life, are facing. In the end, we see it as a sacrifice for the greater good – something that all Americans have to embrace as this country works through deep-cutting issues.
So, know this, as has always been the case, we will not only be posting and facilitating great deals on DealTaker.com, we will also be using them – trying to save some money to make up for some of that salary sacrifice we have ad to make.  Things like:
- Buying necessities
- Getting clothes for our kids
- Ordering gifts for loved ones
- Occasionally splurging on that special item that just helps us to cope with these times through which we are going.Â
That’s what makes the DealTaker community important and why it is especially important during this time. We’re committed to finding the best deals we can and sharing them with you and we encourage you to share with the DealTaker community. We have fun doing this day to day and we take advantage of these deals just like you do. Working together we can all help each other. With a few pennies here and a couple of dollars there we will save….because every little bit helps.
