Worked harder than most. The ppl sitting on their asses got to stay. Hard work does not pay off apparently.

What a waste of time. Looks like every post here is trolling. Especially cause everyone is a bunch of chickens afraid to give names.

The title says it all! $325 in Severance and $1500 Health Coverage for my family! I am in shock. I am looking for a job. My wife is looking for a job. We are in financial ruin.

All Laredo and South Texas is or will be shut down! I got the email by mistake. I was layed off hours after! Save your families!
