When the company was doing well y'all bragged about it and did not hesitate to be seen in each and every event or party, now your bitterness spills out. Poor Y & X gen, not valued enough for doing nothing, although they are entitled to.
I am 52, 115K annual, 9 years at CHK, no complaints. whines or such idiotic gestures. Per my boss, I was not axed since I always out performed and never needed daily re-affirmations that I was doing great. When half my team was laid off in 2013, i picked up the slack, kept quite appreciated the paycheck, it's how I was raised back where I came from (South America) following my Okie wife. I kept seeing those useless youngsters come in and think they own the world and every one has to kiss their behind and say thank you for coming. Facebook all day, Texting during work, you do not think that was OK did you?
Lesson # 1 a..holes, do not overrate yourself, work harder and shut the f..k up when told to do so. Truly enough, many did not deserve to go, but its how goes it, our CEO has nothing to do with commodity prices, I just hope waste lesson learned.
Winners win, Losers hate.
