up and dow Christmas Lights Com
 
If you're union, it sounds like a pre-weed out plan. If not, it sounds like businecide. Raises & hiring strategist's while in the red? "Gratitude" raises, just in case desperate measures fall through? I worked for an electric generator comany in the late 90's. By '99, I was the engine repair guy for any units that failed test off the line. I was also lead guy in the test cell. Before long, I'd all buy put myself out of a job, communicating the cause and effect problams with the line. "If you forget this, don't tighten that, set the valves that loose, this tight, blah blah blah, this is what happens.... Aaanyhow, that line was kickin' serious butt. Come December '99, we were the only department left on 2nd shift.... pushing out generator engines, secretly hoping the worlds lights went out at the stroke of y2k. The last night before Christmas Holiday, there were three lines after a shift meeting. One for shift change, one for relocation to another plant/town, and one for unemployment plans... you know, just in case the lights stayed on, on new years eve. When your ship is sinking, you can feel it all around you; you're part of it. Got your b-line to the raft paved?
 
 
-As far as the raise is concerned, those are figured into the yearly budget and then our prices are adjusted etc for the year. I don't know that "failing" is the right word either. Basically the current shareholders, Many family members and growing with no real stake in the company other than being who they are, are tired of losing money (who wouldn't) and want to explore new area's of getting things back on track. -cause that's how screwed up the management is there right now
