    Let us know how that works out for you....

    Why would anyone want to sue you for being bought and paid for?

    The only monetary bonus I've seen in years has been based on additional efforts on my part, and I'm ok with that. One company did give out nice jackets for the holiday, but the last company I worked for didn't even appreciate what it's employees did on a daily basis. That's why I left it.

    If a day goes by and you have learned nothing, I hope you got a lot of sleep.

    If I had worked for Hostess, they would have perished long ago just from the loss of inventory...

Thats the same as if we couldnt have a reclaimer and R22 Jug in the same truck. Or not allowed to have r22 and r134 in the same truck.

    There are hundreds of ways that organized labor rules cost companies a lot more money to operate. If you don't like the high cost of going to see a play, think about the union rules that there must be union carpenters, painters, electricians, lighting workers etc. on hand during each and every play. Now think about what most of those so called "workers" are doing during the play "A Chorus Line", while they still collect their pay. Now think about why there must be an electrician to plug in the electric cords that the lighting workers are not allowed to plug in. So what do we do about it when attendence drops because the cost of tickets is too high? GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES!.....of course;

    Yup....back when Dad was in electronics, he did a trade show at McCormick Place in Chicago....a teamster had to back the truck to the dock....a dockworker had to unload the truck and take the booth material to the show floor.....a carpenter had to set it up....then an electrician had to plug the cord in.....and the reverse at the end of the show.....

    Featherbedding and protectionism at it's best.....and you wonder why union companies shut down, while government unions flourish.....meh :/
    Technical incompetence is NOT a sales tool....

    Where would YOU recommend cutting your financial vulnerability? Invest in moonshine?
