I know how all yall feel. I was laid off December 31st, after 32 years of service to Union Camp/ International Paper Corp. Worked on Union Camp Swamp Logging job for 20 years and 12 years at the paper mill. Union Camp merged with International Paper in 1999. They built a new paper mill in Brazil, and that was the end of us! I've recently been going through the hiring process at Nucor Steel Mill in Hertford, N.C. Its been ongoing for 6 months and Im almost finished and ready ta start work! Good Luck to ALL of YOU!! Its tough!

I've been watching my friends in the tech industry lose their jobs ever since I started in '98. We have a layoff or two, or three, or four every year it seems. They don't discriminate either. It doesn't matter if you have 25 - 35 - 40 years with the company and it was your first job out of high school. The guy who got me on in '98, a family friend, was laid off last year after 35 years with the company and about to retire. My good friend was laid off and her last day was on the same day she got inducted into "club 25" for 25 years of service. All of our jobs went to India, the Phillipines and other 3rd world countries. Now the big push is to cut costs and do everything cheaper.
All a fella can do is work hard, pray...and comb his hair.

I work hard and pray, but no longer comb my hair. Mr. O should understand that I have my own personal security force.
