Yep. A good job - great even. First time in my life I worked under bosses who expected tall and recognized to go with it. They respect our position and treat us like human beings. The whole place kids around about the client now and then like anywhere else; but, everyone of them cares about the client and seeing that the client can function. I love serving Delphi because I have family there and most of the people I deal with are decent.

You occasionally get one of those "do you know who *I* am" types who you couldn't please if you bronzed their sphyncter at death for their enemies to kiss; but you'll have that. They've been good to serve and it's challenging if maddening at times. It lets me solve problems for people and feel useful while putting a great deal of practical experience and selve learned knowledge to work.

My local bosses and my team and the whole facility are heros. That's my heartfelt view. The corporate office and Delphi at this point have lost my respect. EDS was my dream job. From the first time I picked up a keyboard I wanted to find a way to get credentials to work for them.. even scrubbing toilets just to get near to an opportunity with them. They used to have integrity of a type that other people would tell me about and locally still go on about - people who have been served by them in the past in the line of their duties. So, losing the dream job is a real loser of a situation. It's nice to know it isn't my fault on the one hand - on the other it is my fault that I'm not a mexican in mexico cause that's the standard they applied when they decided to get rid of me. To be a competition and a fair one, I had to come to the table with those credentials and I couldn't. I could as easily say it's the 50s and I couldn't get the job because I wasn't white and I needed to have those credentials to get in the door. I'm an American being disowned in America for not being Mexican. There's some irony in there somewhere
