Oh, and to the ones that were let go. I know it seems like the world is closing in on you, but look at it this way, you have a couple month head start on the rest of us to find a new job. When they finally let us all go, we will be the ones stuck in the lurch. Most people I know that have been let go, they say it's the best thing that ever happened to them. If I knew you, know that I will miss you. Take care and God bless.

It was a very sad/scary situation around the old warehouse on Wednesday. The gestapo came out and shuffled people from the building. When the ones that were remaining inquired to their supervisors for an explanation, they were told "I don't HAVE to tell you anything" by a certain NS Supe. It's almost like we work for two different companies between the fourth floor and the warehouse. At least the ones that remained were told what exactly was going on.

It took until today before we were actually told the reason, of course, it was all taken with a grain of salt. There is no ryhme, there is no reason, some I understood, some I still don't. I'm not upset that this is happening, I understand that it's business, and we are in very dire circumstances as a country. But, at the very least, they could be honest.

I'm sure at every job every employee thinks that the supervisors are idiots, but it wasn't always that way. Not at Lab. When I first started, many, many years ago, the supervisors were a group of very knowledgeable people that seemed to actually care if you liked your job. Perhaps that was just being young and naive. Now, there are maybe 3 supervisors that could actually perform the job they are in charge of. Many of them, lean so hard on 1 or 2 of the employees, that when those people are gone the whole works is gummed up. The superiority complex they convey is mind boggling. Most people in the warehouse know, if you have a problem, the LAST person you go to is a supervisor. They are a measure of last resort.
