I am very sorry to hear about the layoffs. Times have changed and the executives were not able to steer the company in the right direction. Now, the worker will pay for mistakes made by the executive line up.
I worked for HP back when their were no lay off. Everyone hours were cut and no on lost their job. We received profit sharing check twice per year. Beer bust every quarter, Christmas parties for each division, annual picnics every summer, stock matching. And on your ten year anniversary we received 10 shares of stock. Every five years of service we were given a gift. What a company!
I was proud to work for a company that cared and shared with their employees. Those days are gone for good.
