I cannot get over the negative remarks- some of these were workers at Simmons Right? In other words since they did not follow the rules they no longer have a job-- and they were warned ahead of time. I know -- they have great benefits there and some people make great money depending on job qualifications etc. People no longer in the employ now are badmouthing the place. Some good people no longer have jobs and that is sad- heartbreaking to say the least. Do you people out there realize that employees from G.M.-Lear- and others are not making nasty remarks about losing their livelihood and blaming their workplace? They know it is happening and after the shock have dusted themselves off and are going to make it somehow- I wish them all luck in the future. Yes I work there and have for awhile and to the person blaming Chucky for the downfall is really grasping at straws for blame. Do you really think he has that much power?? Come on think about it!! Yes I do work there and have for a while now and feel fortunate to be working with the economy the way it is .

I also think that everyone who is still working is lucky to be able to do so. It doesn't help when others are trying to put down those that try to just make an honest living.With the price of goods these days and gas prices always on the rise who knows what will happen next? In response to one who says people of less seniority should be able to take other jobs seems interesting. How about the ones that pretend to be all about working toward a common goal expressing need to work and then soon as hired in decide that I'm in now so can slack off and just want the 8 hours only. So where is teamwork- believe it or not that is the way life works!

Yes I still work at Simmons and no one can say even myself what the next day will bring the way the economy is heading. I also work on the shopfloor so I do know what is going on and not in the office getting someone his coffee? By the way does Chuck drink coffee, since you think someone has the job of getting him his coffee you must know. Oh and by the way even office workers have been laid off so not just on the floor. How much do you really know of Simmons practices? The decisions come from Atlanta and who ever out there think Chuck is the controller of all futures is so off base. Everyone has a boss and I bet he has several. We have learned through the years that some people abuse rules and when finally addressed they act like they have been so wronged. It was a very sad day to see others leave and because some bent the rules- it had to come to a straight across the board layoff. Some people have thought that employees can play the game and think it has not been adressed. As my spouse said to me when I said this-"You know it is none of anyone's business how they handle it and besides they are not going to address things right in front of others". Oh and for comment of being in the top ten you may think you are safe- I am not in the top ten so I feel sorry for the people that just have to spout mean words- so they are unhappy. But if someone is so unhappy at Simmons or anywhere else why not quit? If you are so unhappy what is stopping you? Can't find another job huh--where you make the money you make now and insurance is pretty good too. But then is this your place for letting off steam as no one else will listen to your constant complaints?
