Our family business would love to hire more people. We have the need. Unfortunately, the costs related to the upcoming Obamacare program plus the tax changes due in January are likely going to force us to fire everyone and shut our doors.

Ironically, most of our employees are black people who voted for the Dear Leader. I hope they remember him when they’re standing in line at the unemployment office.

Yep. The law of unintended consequences hasn’t been repealed.

They will still blame the Republicans. They are all still blaming Bush.

It’s unlikely that they will remember. Here’s a quiz; ask those employees what political party Abraham Lincoln belonged to. I’ll predict that most of them will say that he was a Democrat.

Sounds like the typical hire where I work. They start out and stay temps for ages though. I had enough sense to find an application and filled it out and sent it in and started as a full timer from day one.

I found out many months later I was the single exception to the temp rule.

I was out recently due to some medical problems for a couple of weeks. When I came back this week, I was surprised to see a whole department gone. That department is an extension of one of the core businesses. I am in what I call the “sacrificial lamb” department considering the weird and outright deliberate negligent planning of some higher ups. It says a lot when you’ve been gone a couple of weeks and your leader type doesn’t even bother to IM a “hello” or welcome back. It comes as no surprise.

I figure I am going to be gone or worse busted down sooner or later. The sad thing is that while I am no electronics or IT whiz, just very knowlegeable, almost all of the rest know next to nothing about technology.

If/when the day of reckoning comes, I will leave. There is no way I am going to go to special needs section. I will gladly go back to contracting. I turn a fair amount of that away.
