[QUOTE="ncrtscisme, post: 78351, member: 4721"] great post, TSG PAPA! and free_2_ski, i love your attitude! this really is a wonderful chance for many people to now "take the money and run" and to follow our dreams. as someone else posted way earlier: love your woman (or man), love your family, love your hobbies...but a job is really just a means to an end and losing it isn't the end of the world. Hell, it could end up being a great beginning to a better world! cinamingrl, you are now what many of us are about to become. Your comments about management showing their "true colors" is soo familiar. If I were a TSC or TSG management, I would be very sympathetic to my underlings during all of this. I would still want the work to be done and calls answered, but I would expect the numbers to slip when a scare like this happens and I would understand that. I would expect the people affected to have to vent their frustrations and I would be somewhat forgiving of it. But in our case, management is taking the opposite approach. They are watching us like hawks, pulling us into the office for every little thing we do wrong, monitoring everything we do or say on the phone and to each other. In fact, I cannot recall a time when management was more "accessible" than they are now (and in this case, they are "accessible" in a negative way). I would not be the least bit surprised to see people getting fired for any little reason over the next few weeks/months. If they can find something we did to fire us over, any little thing, they will not have to pay us severance and the company will save a few more bucks...nevermind the fact that we are understandably stressed out to the max and kept in the dark with information. "KICK EM WHILE THEY'RE DOWN" seems to be the approach they are taking, and it's so unnerving to me and my coworkers...it's really a scary situation. [/QUOTE]
