60,000 laid off a 100,000 expected wow
« on: September 20, 2001, 02:36:12 AM »
Boeing plans 30,000 layoffs, American Airlines cuts 20,000 and sources say United will drop 20,000.

They said 100,000 is the total amount of jobs expected to be cut.

Wow man that is just shocking ot hear.  100,000 expected and 70,000 already wow.

Well the bad news is  I\'m the lowest man on the senority poll for my job

the good news is they can retain a small persentage of persons if they deem that persons skill good enough  to not want to lose them

I have been retained twice already, Hopefully they\'ll do it again

What really sucks is I just made my 3rd payment agains my 30 year Mortgage

Oh well I\'m not too worried, I happen to be i skill trades  and they won\'t hit us as hard as they will other departments.

Not to mention I\'m sure my unemployment benefits will get exteneded not to mention I can go to college while being laid off and have my union pay for it while collecting unemployment as well.

Then there is always the option of working off the books if I can find such a jon while collecting unemployment

Well maybe Boeing won\'t be hasty in letting you go.
Good luck ddaryl.

Sh!t, it sucks how those Terrorist-donkey-fu@kers affected the whole world by this. This just shows you how the economy and all its infrastructure is connected together, scary..
