...and I expect terrible things.
My town area is one of many homes of the now-dead Goodyear plants.
These people are being paid until October of their regular set hourly wages, already set up for unemployment benefits for at minimum six months (without the need to calle every week lest they get a job), have bought out the local used-car dealerships, and are buying houses left and right.
It sucks to lose a job, but I think they're getting a decent send-off, and I'm not mentioning the ones who left early or for another plant.
My reason for posting, is the day a few years ago, when they were striking for some odd reason. The strikers took odd jobs between their picketing, and many came to the pizza place I used to work at. Most were fired or just never put on the schedule again because the work was "beneath REAL work," and it was," for kids and lowlife adult who can't grow up."
Wha..
They all worked the barest minimum, complained that they were being made to work, tried to tell us that we all needed REAL jobs, how are we able to afford our P.O.S. cars, etc. and they were all the laziest most unhygenic co-workers I had ever had.
One such man left Goodyear and came to overnights at my current retail store as a stocker. He's an older man, who worked slow and talked long. Took extra breaks, because he "needs more cigarette time than this little store allowed," even though this was "just some ass job" that he had to tide him over moving.
Since it has closed, gas and food and medicine prices have gone down and I can afford to eat more than $1 meats and ramen every day. My mother is getting breaks from her very expensive medical bills that insurances will not help cover. Except for the negatives of lost jobs and such, I have only benefited.
So why am I so very pessimistic and ranty about this?
I don't want to work with more lazy EWs. I have enough of them now, and I'm tired of it
