You sound like the guy that wanted to fire me. Does " he's the only one that gets anything done" ring a bell? I guess if I was late it would slow things down as I was the only one doing anything!What is wrong with that?
Wow. Maybe more details as to why you were late and that you had called first or something?? But when I was working we would wait, holding up the day's testing or whatever because someone was late.
I’ve seen a lot of people complain about the increased cost of living. It’s as if UAW workers feel they are the only ones hurting.MSCH,
How do you feel about the UAW strike and 40% raise they want ?
they probably deserve it. the old Bob Seger song, Feel like a Number applies when a person works for them not too mention they took a give aways back when the auto companies went the bankruptcy bailout route. so even if they managed to get a 10% raise each year for the next 4 years it wont put them back where they were would be my opinion..MSCH,

Never had to lay off, but had to fire people that were a bad fit. I told them - your a good person but this job isn't for you, I can give you some number of days pay and you walk out now, or you can go home and start looking for a job and your job for the next 30 days is to find a new job, and you can tell them your still employed here - easier to get a job when you have a job.Yes, I survived about a dozen of them from 95-2011 working for a public company.
I was the one laying guys off and it was terrible.
HahhahahahahahaYou sound like the guy that wanted to fire me. Does " he's the only one that gets anything done" ring a bell? I guess if I was late it would slow things down as I was the only one doing anything!
I agree 40% seems a lot. So how much labor cost is in that vehicle now? Is management going poor too?I’ve seen a lot of people complain about the increased cost of living. It’s as if UAW workers feel they are the only ones hurting.
40% wage increase is nuts. What will it do to an already over priced Chevy/ GM 1500?
Layoffs have a positive effect to make sure you keep yourself marketable, relevant and always looking for better opportunities within your company or elsewhere.
Also keeps you out of stupidity like using credit on consumer debt (cars, phones, etc) especially when you have cash to buy something you can actually afford.
I tell younger folks exactly what you wrote and to always keep your eyes open for better opportunities and better pay.
Relevant education, training and skill sets will always keep you in demand and you will be able to choose the jobs you want.
