The bedrock of our department, but NOT in favor with the powers that be
Guy with 19 years of loyal service to the company, and they just threw him out like a used dishrag.
We had the meeting today where they spun it for us.......and oh wasn't it awkward to meet him in the hall on the way down to the meeting where they were going to tell us about it
All of us are wondering what this means for our department.. they spun it very reassuringly, but have NOT promised us anything..........at least not long term........the obvious goal is still to have our functions outsourced to the Richmond branch.
Sigh.........updating resumes..........like that's going to help when every IT function we perform these days is being outsourced to India.......these days a job loss is like a death sentence........
I talked to my sweetie tonight........we're still moving forward with our visa petition, but i don't know if we'll take that final step if we get it. There are no jobs for him if he comes here, and I don't want to ruin his life.
God I hate these people. And sorry to be such a downer. I have moved every bit of my 401k to very safe (and not profitable) money market investments, and I am leaving them there till after the election.
I don't even know if Obama or Hillary could even help with this. Or even want to. They're in the pay and thrall of corporate america also. They can't help but be.
Question: does anybody here REALLY think the DC Madam committed suicide? Give me a break. She knew too much. Getting sick of the death toll of people that knew too much (Paul Wellstone, etc).
