Layoffs and furloughs. . . . . .

[parishht]

Well, I am living it, the division I work for has been sold to a Mexican company and
Thursday they told me that after August 31, I no longer have a job.
They say I am a redundent employee.

Out of 62 people in my office, they are only keeping 15.

They just don't understand the significance of what we do.

One of our contract employees put it this way:

If you give a monkey a diamond, he looks at it, smells it, tastes it, but throws it away, because he just does not understand what it is.
