Hate to say this , but let's be honest does anyone want to lose their job? Bosses pulled me aside and said this wouldn't effect me. I'm paranoid as **** right now. What is there out there for an old dumb coal miner too do. If this mining,  job is gone I'm afraid it's over. No more coal booms. Should I look for work in god forbid Lexington. I'm pretty good plumber and know a Lil electric. Hope this doesn't effect my family 28$ @ hr hard to come by around here. Sorry for rambling just devastating to get papers saying 63 jobs will be cut, I've got 12 years with them

If you do happen to get up this way.....I have some connections in the construction business in the Lexington/Richmond area.  Good luck, I'd say that if they pulled you aside, you're probably in good shape.  However, fred and Benton have offered some excellent advice here too.  Never hurts to be pro active, rather than reactive. I feel for ya, nothing worse than uncertainty about your livelihood.  My dad and grandfather were both miners during the coal boom of the 70s/80s, but they were equipment operators in strip mines.  So, when it dried up, they found work running equipment elsewhere.

We're all Bengals fans, we....better than anyone.....should know the consequences of being reactive versus proactive! LMAO
