Sad

The layoffs at work continue. Nothing directly affecting my office, but throughout the country loyal employees are being escorted from their desks. Some of them have been with this company for over 15years and to those of us who are left, they were an asset to a company full of inept fools. I will never understand the inner workings of corporate. My old group is left six people shy, in a group already stretched thinner than a size small panty on a size XXX behind!

I feel badly sitting here job-hunting and wish I would be let go, while others cower at their desks in fear. Why not ask for volunteers? I can not tell you how many people I have talked to during these "Black Days" who would not have minded being one of those released. Maybe we just say it because it was not us who were told to leave and not allowed to pack up their belongings until the weekend, under guard of VPs. It is insulting and degrading. The kicker is, the company made it's best profit ever in 2006, but it just was not enough for shareholders. Greed...it is a mighty power.
