And this here is your post #65 from way back that doesn't really have anything to do with anyone other than you...
So... I don't understand your point. Are you trying to say that just because you were able to easily handle being laid off that everyone else should be able to as well?
Like I said in my first reply... "some people handle it better than others."
Perhaps I'm getting it all wrong... maybe your post was meant as some kind of encouragement to the soon to be laid off workers.
Corporations have been downsizing for at least 20 years. The days of working for a large corporation for life have been over for at least 20 years. The people at AA are not the first to be going through this. I would bet that most that worked there made more money than 80% of hourly workers in this State. Just like I did and the GM employees did. I would also bet that most were living pay check to pay check. I don't feel sorry or grieve as you say for people who were making that kind of money in this State with our cost of living and didn't prepare for what has been happening all over the country for the last 20 years. Yes a lot of people are going to lose their jobs, but life goes on. The problem is most people are going to want or expect to find another job making the same money and benefits with the same type of physical work. That isn't going to happen. But there are jobs out there and there are ways to make money IF YOU TRY.
I an hourly and I make double what a typical AA employee makes. JB is an hourly employee. Doctors are hourly employees. People need to open their eyes to the white collar world.

What kind of severence packages are AA employees going to get? I think Obama is offering up to 99 weeks of umemployment benefits. I doubt AA union employees are going to be let go without some kind of compensation. Any moneys to go to school for retraining?
What will happen to our severance if there is a layoff; do we still get it?
