Excellent restraint on everyones part.I spent the last 3 years wainting for some one to walk up to my cubicle and tell I was fired. Somehow that never happened. I ended up leaving on my own. Im now doing freelance for the company. Very weird.I think we can all agree that the relationship that existed in the 50s and 60s between Company and Employee was killed in 80s, at least very well maimed. The company is only beholden to its profit line and share holders.2 million jobs have been lost in america since the last election and a million more will be gone by the next. take that as you will. Things to do:#1- In most instances you dont owe anything to the company you work for. You're not indebted to them in anyway. You may feel grateful they hired you, but you owe them nothing. #2-Never stop looking for a job. Whether that means in your company or at a nother. Always seek to improve your situation. I you get a better offer, tell you current employer and see if they'll match the offer.#3-Always join a union. ALWAYS! Never be afraid or bullied into not joining a union.Temp agencies have empowered a lot of workers. I worked for over a year with Manpower. It was great. But I was only empowering huge companies to value their employees LESS. Temp agencies have tricked the american worker into thinking they are getting a sweet deal. So try not to work for them and try not to use them for new hires.Viva Mike MooreViva Al FrakenViva Greg PalastViva the Worker!</blockquote>
