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.
Which is why I do my own thing. Have a couple businesses I operate that afford me a pretty decent living in an area that has very suppressed wages. Unless you go over to the Bakken and then it is ridiculous work environment and dangerous as hell, mostly because of those you are working with. But again, you are employed at the whim of a number of people that can send you packing in a heartbeat.
No thanks. I have a family to tend to. I don't need some swinging dick F'ing up my life by sending me down the road and putting my family at risk.
