Friggin in The Riggin
Continuing our Nattering's in This Needs To Be Corrected, more comments from Mercenary Trader's missive....
Nattering to Tin Lizzy....
TinLizzy,
Further follow up on recent events can be found on:
“They told us they could replace one of us with three, four, or five Indian personnel and still save money,” one laid-off Edison worker told me, recounting a group meeting with supervisors last year. “They said, ‘We can get four Indian guys for cheaper than the price of you.’ You could hear a pin drop in the room.”
Here:

Michael Snyder (Economic Collapse)
and the original article in the NY Times as Disney and SCE recently pink slipped long term employees, and FORCED them to train their cheap foreign H1B replacements
"Anonymous workers who were displaced by the visa holders also submitted written testimonials to lawmakers detailing their firings. Several claimed they were forced to train their replacements, and threatened with losing their severance if they did not."
Welcome to Logan's Run, except here in the US it's when you turn 35 years old... over 10 years ago, circa 2004, a nephew of mine had worked for HP since he was 17, 18 years in with only 18 months till full 20 year vesting, rather than doing the right thing and rewarding loyalty, to save money, the bean counters at Carly Fiorina's behest dumped a few thousand like him on the side of the road with a piddly severance package. At age 35, skilled with degree and experience, he could not buy a job for three years.
Hopefully those who think of voting or supporting Ms. Fiorina with her presidential aspirations, will think twice and take a hard look at her abysmal record and swath of destruction.
Sidebar: Even if Fiorina doesn't get the GOP nomination, the US public will again have the choice of dumb or dumber, in a Clinton - Bush rematch. I cannot fathom which of these idiotic sycophants is more ignorant, detached and clueless as they have both amply demonstrated in their well rehearsed, yet poorly scripted diatribe. Democracy in action, eh? All I can say is it's friggin in the riggin here in the States and the lyrics below are befitting regardless of who is or has been in charge...
"Ahoy Scurvies...
It was on the good ship Venus
by Christ ya shoulda seen us
The figurehead was a whore in bed
And a mast of a phallic genus
The Captain of this lugger
He was a dirty bugger
He wasn't fit to shovel shit
From one place to another."
More to come in There's A STEM Shortage?
