Re: Layoffs said by Austinloop:Second, as mentioned earlier there is the possibility of taking a job in another part of the company. The job may not be the same wages as the original job, but it is a paycheck. Right. Survival is the ultimate goal, but why is the average guy going to keep taking cuts when the big guys aren't? I mean, aren't we taught that there's more to life than a paycheck here in America? You know... You work hard and you will be rewarded? The American Dream? I know this isn't necessarily true anymore, but some people still cling to hope... |

Nobody is forcing them to take a job...there is ~10% of our working population that is more than likely interested in the job if the resident employees aren't interested in working. |

said by jjeffeory:I mean, aren't we taught that there's more to life than a paycheck here in America? You know... You work hard and you will be rewarded? That's part of the problem these days-- younger generations aren't taught at an early age that life isn't necessarily going to be fair. Children are coddled and sheltered too much by parents who don't realize that they're doing their children more harm than good. Hence, we wind up with a society that focuses more on fairness than trying to get ahead, which ultimately winds up screwing those of us whose priorities are getting ahead. Hence, socialism in America is born.
People need to learn that life isn't fair, and fairness shouldn't be enforced at any cost. Many times it's more beneficial in the long run to just accept the bad stuff and learn from it, and just figure out how to make sure it doesn't happen to you the next time. It's called growing up and acting like a mature adult.

It's simple: Obama is lying about health care. His plans require rationing, and openly fund abortions and euthanization. And his continued association with ACORN only shows that he supports its illegal and immoral activities. Remove Obama from office now. |
