Our part of the company, was highest profit maker in the group.
But we also had big developmental costs.
To inflate other groups, they simply stopped development.
We were the sacrificial cash cow.
Laid off with hundreds at one time.
There were layoffs before and after.

Your work ethic or performance played no part. Majority of those fired had right around 14 yrs in.

The plant is a ghost town now.
There was a reform/split......one group still trying to make a go of it.
That's the one that asked if I'd consider coming back.

Zero security. Even if they paid me twice what I make now..........no way.
Got a sick kid that needs good insurance.
