Job Issues

I have a prayer request - Chad is really getting put through the wringer at work, and he may end up losing his job. It has been a VERY difficult week, to say the least, capping off what has become eight months of garbage. We are trying to plan for a worst-case scenario... without being pessimistic. Argh. Our nerves are just totally raw, as you can imagine, while his boss just keeps being a king-sized jerk. His boss's latest stunt is telling us we have to reschedule our vacation! We already have the tickets and were leaving in a week when he just "decided" to revoke his approval for the time off. Chad has tried discussing this with him for three days, and he is just blowing him off. (What does this guy care how much this will cost us? We're made of money, right?) He doesn't even have the decency to sit down and talk to Chad face-to-face! He told him over the phone, and then threatened to fire him if he didn't agree to it. Anyway, this is par for the course with this guy. He treats his workers like his personal serfs, assuming this job is just so wonderful no one would dream of quitting. Yeah, right. Anyway, we're not sure what the bigger plan is here, and we want to be careful to make the right decisions. As much as Chad would love to just walk away and leave them all up a creek, we have to consider what is best for the long-term welfare of our family. Those of you who were aware of the situation and have sent encouraging notes or called, THANKS!!!!! You have no idea how much that has meant to us. It always seemed to come at just the right time! Twice since last night I have been in tears on the computer trying to figure out how to handle this, and an e-mail popped up with some support or word of encouragement. Please, just keep us in your prayers, especially that we will make a mature responsible decision instead of going with our emotional instincts.
