Well I have been working since I was about 12 years old(part time jobs at that time)and I have only been fired once. It was my last job, which was non-Union, and I was making well over 100 grand a year(and doing an excellent job, BTW, according to my immediate superior) and I was fired for making to much money. They didn’t come right out an admit it, but the top 3 earners were fired and no one else. luckily I was only 1 year away from retirement because when you’re over 60 you don’t get hired by anyone.
Colorado. Might be a bit crazy there
Colorado IS a bit crazy. After all Longmont is 14 miles form Boulder, the most liberal city in the area. This business was in business for over 60 years. Liberal Hickenlooper as governor is no help.
Maybe they couldn’t convince an imam to move to town to pray Allah’s blessings over the product. I’m not really kidding.
