You're upset at losing an EDS job?! Good Lord, man...EDS pays meager famine-wages and employs little more than slaves for your first ten years there (presuming that you made the cuts to stay on).

Relax. Life can only get better after leaving EDS. Even a $7.50 per hour Wal-Mart job will look better.

I love my job at EDS and my bosses have treated me like Gold in my local facility. I consistently outperform my requirements and they actually gave me a raise after announcing I was losing my job. A little gauling and befuddling; but, ok.

And I worked for Walmart for 4 years as assistant dept manager over a 3-4 million a year electronics dept. It took me 4 years to get from the hire in rate to 7.50 an hour for the same reason they wouldn't hire more than a skeleton crew in the store I was in. They are bigger tightwads than anyplace I ever worked for in my life. How many electronics stores would have the gaul to tell you after 4 years you weren't worth more than 7.50 an hour to them when McDonalds across the street was hiring at 7.50 an hour. Unless Walmart has changed their operational practices, I wouldn't send my dog to work there.
