Eight people were laid off from work

today. Among them a woman who had worked 20 years for the company. This is the thanks she gets.

Another of the victims was a woman in her late 50s or early 60s, who worked so that she and her sick husband would have health insurance. Isn't America grand, where one's access to health care is contingent upon continued employment with a company that provides health insurance.

I hate to see this happen any time of year but during the winter seems particularly cruel. I don't think a lot of companies hire during the winter and right before Christmas.

When asked if there would be additional layoffs one of the VPs said he was not at liberty to say, which IMHO, means yes there will be more.
