Remember when the gas prices went on the rise and Bush had to threaten some gas companies who raised their prices more then necessary? I know of one gas company in the town of Coffeyville, Kansas who was threatened by other companies because he refused to take advantage of customers, so they bought their gas from him which in return pissed off the other companies. That was before Bush found out what many of those companies were doing at that time.
So I'm willing to bet many businesses will be taking advantage of the economy's situation and use the opportunity to pay as less as possible to their employees because they know that right now people are willing to work for so much less than what they're really worth. Such a sad, sad world we live in.
This fear has already come into fruition at my company. Last Wednesday we had a 'reduction in workforce'. It was another sad and scary day. Luckily I was saved this round. Not sure how many lucky days I will have.
ReplyDeleteJust hope that will be the end for awhile. I'm sure our company saved quit a bit of money from this last round.
How are things? I hope good. You've been a little quiet.
