Dear John & Doves,
 
Would you please pray that the Lord will help my son Darren find another job in the next two months that is less stressful and that doesn't require him to work such long hours anywhere between 12 and up to maybe 16 hrs. in some instances. Darren's present manager's job at a frozen food company was originally a 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. job, and sometimes he did have to work overtime up to 4 hrs., but certainly not every day.
 
What happened is when he took a vacation out to Colorado some of the workers quit and they didn't rehire any men besides his boss's company buying out another company.  So the boss and his son expects the men to work these long hours which is very stressful, and it is starting to cause Darren to have headaches, and when he had headaches before they led to him having a brain seizure.  So please also pray that he doesn't have another brain seizure.
 
Darren has put in an application to two different companies, and has to be interviewed yet.  I think Darren said he had one of the interviews already set up, but he had to cancel it because his boss or his son called him up and told him they needed him at work for the day that Darren had arranged to take off to have the interview. Of course, his boss doesn't know about the interview, and Darren is thinking of changing his phone number so the boss can't call him to come into work on the day that Darren has to go to his next interview.  Both places where he is applying for a job offer about the same wages as he is presently getting besides having medical and dental coverage and  a pension plan although one of the jobs is a night job. Even though Darren doesn't like night hours and prefers the job with day hours, he said he would take it just so that he can quit the job he presently has.  The company that Darren now works for only has a medical plan and when he asked his boss about providing a dental plan for his employees, Darren was handed a toothbrush, and to put it in a nice way the employees aren't being treated too kindly on the job since the boss's son was put in charge.  They also have no pension plan.  Darren said the boss and his son attend church, but it sounds like they need a change of heart so that they will treat their employees better.  If you can afford to buy out another company, you would think that they would be able to afford to give their employees dental coverage even if the employees had to pay part of the premium just like they do with the medical coverage the employees have.  Anyway I think you get the picture of why Darren does not want to work in a place where there is an unChristian attitude towards its employees.
 
Your prayers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
 
God bless you,
Donna
