If true, waters should furlough its mid level managers to see how truly useless they are. And can’t forget the narcissistic little consultants running amock.
U are welcome ooodit😉
Google it I don't have the time it's my day off
You realise furlough was only possible during covid because the government provided money to pay workers while they were let go. Waters ain't going to pay people to stay at home. Man don't know his ar-e from his elbow.😝
If this is really the case,let's see what kind of men and women work here.one out all out.only if workers stand together will we get fairness in who stays and goes and proper redundancy talks if it comes to that.

Evaluating the Effects of Higher Tariffs on Analytical Research and Equipment
Apr 15, 2025

President Donald Trump recently announced plans to introduce tariffs on imported semiconductor chip. The announcement comes alongside a series of tariff-related measures and a 90-day pause on higher tariffs for most countries, affecting imports from several of the United States’ primary trading partners.
“Like we did with steel, like we did with automobiles, like we did with aluminum—which are now fully on—we’ll be doing that with semiconductors, with chips, and numerous other things. And that’ll take place in the very near future,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Semiconductors are the backbone of modern technology, powering everything from smartphones and electric vehicles to medical devices and advanced computing systems. These chips are essential across countless industries—including science—where researchers increasingly rely on sophisticated analytical instruments built with semiconductor components. Analytical techniques such as spectroscopy also play a critical role in examining the structure and performance of semiconductors themselves, making them central to ongoing scientific discovery and innovation.
The proposed tariffs are just the latest in a series of actions that could trigger fundamental shifts for scientists working across academia, industry, and government. The total tariff measures could increase from $0.5 billion a year to nearly $63 billion a year for the pharmaceutical, life science, and medical device industries,

Work smarter not harder cause harder gets you no where in the company, managers only look after those they like and others they look down at
Look you will do your 40 years service and your reward will be there at the end.thats the whole system in a nutshell.your choice.no one will care how hard you worked,what position you rose too,absolutely no fcks given.break your ba--s all year for two week of freedom and you think you've made it.its all bullsh-t and a life never lived.a few young people made the right decision and got out into living.i admire them.so grab the opportunity a few months off will give if that's what's ahead.look at it as TR,enjoy and you just might realise there's a much better path.
Man in the know hmmmm funny you all say that but nothing happens, god yous love abit of drama don't you guys
