Friday!

Yes my friends it is the magical day of the week! I need it after yesterday.
Word has come down from on high that there will be a big layoff at my place of work.
I'm safe but we did lose a person. I am going to lose some good friends out there. It really sucks because a lot of these people are younger and have families to support.

What really sucks is there are several people who are past the age of seventy and are drawing several paychecks from retirements, social security, AND this place and won't step down to save a job. One person in particular draws no less than five paychecks! He clears around eighty grand without this job and he is seventy three.

He could save one man's job who is supporting a family but won't do it, want to hear the kicker? There are TWO people in that same area who are in similar positions and neither one will retire to save this guy's job.

That isn't the only story like that either. That is the downside of working within a union. The young people get the screws while the people with seniority can't be touched and can practically be as lazy as they want to be.
