It seems that among those laid off, managers and directors have gotten other jobs fairly easily, but a lot of front line workers have struggled to find jobs. Anyone else notice this?

I can’t wait to see what the results will be (although I’m a little afraid of them). Do you expect that after the “Day of Change” protest, things will change for the better? I’m not over-optimistic, far from it, but I think some things should... — read more

Please quit removing posts without an explanation...
