Well- maybe a great time to just be thankful to have a job. I learned long ago that I didn't like working for others and started my own biz. BTW- I made [censored] sure my people with children DID get very nice bonus checks this year. I also made sure that I said " Thank You" to each and every single person that works " with" and " for" me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I am Thankful to have them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />.

Obviously anyone should be happy to have a job right now, but just because an employer can treat employees the way they want in these times, doesn't mean they should. Unfortunately a lot of employers just see it as leverage, which is why I suspect this crisis was kickstarted with a lot of talk and bs from big business in the first place, as an excuse to downsize and offshore.

I'm happy to see there are employers like you in the world still, honor and pride is not totally dead. In fact, this forum seems to attract an abnormal percentage of honorable people. All hail the dogs of the yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I suspect you are correct about the downsizing. Most folks cannot figure out how the stock market is going upward with all this going on. I can tell you EXACTLY how this is happening. They are taking profits by stealing from the workers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbdn.gif" alt="" />. The excuse is that they are going to make us compete with third world countries in this manner. In other words- less pay- more hours-very little benefits for the workers <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />. Now- the large stock holders pad their pockets. That is the bad news. The good news is business like myself and Busse- take great care of their people and we are the backbone of this country <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />!! hang in there guys- and by all means ENJOY the holiday season <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. This trend will pass <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> !!
