You may call it class envy. I call it “fair is fair”. I guess you think it OK for someone to fire their employees just so they can maintain their own salary. “dog eat dog”, and “fend for yourself, who cares about anyone else”, right, buddy?

Oh, and as far as some people on this board seem to be a "poor little worker" type, it seems some are of the old corporate-owned town from the 1800's where the company owned the town and everything in it, including the people, and to hell with freedom for anyone else, I got mine!

I guess you are like the liberals, anyone who doesn't agree with you is too stupid to draw breath, eh terry?

Actually, I do think it is OK! It is my money, my risk, I'm the one working 10-12 hours a day 6-7 days a week while my (ex) employee only worried about getting their check...talk a good game, but when the chips are down they want to get paid for that extra 15 minutes after taking an hour and a half for lunch, take their paid time off when I can't get a day off. When we need to canvass to bring in new customers..."sorry, I have to go pick up my kids." In the 30 years I've been a worker, manager and owner, no one has worked harder or longer. So what is fair??? I have been the first in and the last out and none of my employees have been as committed as I have. I don't think it is anyones place to deny me what I have earned.

If these employees had value, they wouldn't have been laid off. If the owners are trying to sell the company, they have to reduce expenses, and keep the intellectual capital (management and key employees) around for the buyer. It is really not that hard to figure out. If you don't want to get laid off...make yourself valuable. If not, go cry to your Obommy.
