why do you hate when people keep their job
I don't hate the people . What I hate is the political absurdity behind this move when it's Carrier all over again. If the additional time will give some people enough pension credits to qualify for full retirement then it will have done a bit of good but for the rest of them it will likely mean getting a permanent layoff just after Christmas and the loss of their health insurance.
I worked for a company that was bought out by a larger competitor in the same space. The new owner backed up and offloaded a dump truck load of promises regarding the future of the facility but 6 months after they bought the place contrary to all the promises they made we could see that they weren't committed to the place and within a year we knew what they were they for.
In fact while my coworkers and I read their latest press release regarding their big plans for the facility we looked down to the other and of the building and there they were moving supplies and equipment out of the building.
This event is nothing new. Similar events have happened over the recent decades and continues to this very day.
