The cookers are cooking:)
I just LOVE seeing these big companies sweating it finally. The cooking of the numbers had gone on too long and it was the little people that suffered.
In my H's company, men with 20-30 years of loyal service were booted. And the thing that really ticked me off were the ra-ra acts and LIES of management.
People were assured they had jobs AND THEY DIDN'T. But not only did management have jobs, they were getting multimillion dollar bonuses! Let me tell you, it was hell on earth. One poor man lost his job and found out his wife had breast cancer the same day. We were trying to deal with our sons brain surgery when my H was told he lost his job. And you know how they told him? This is a man of much dignity and fair play who had given them 25 years of loyal service....He gets a phone call saying, "Sorry, Buddy, you're out". It was heartwrenching.
It was like a death in our family. My H has found a new job, less pay, more traveling, harder work. But he was one of the lucky ones.
Some of these poor men had to take jobs so far beneath what they were used to. One man who made $60,000 a year was forced to take a job at $20,000 a year as severance was runnug out and he needed insurance.
One thing that was a lesson hard learned was NEVER LIVE ABOVE YOUR MEANS. We, and a few like us, were lucky because we have never lived above our means. But some people had to sell their homes, cars and other stuff they had worked so hard for.
But NOW, it's coming to light that the number cookers may have just cooked their gooses. There's something wrong when a man of 25 years loses his job and a man that worked for the company 5 years gets an 18 million dollar bonus.
I have instructed my H NOT to catch their heads as they roll by
