It’s not because they are bad people or hate you, it’s just a good business decision. My company used to do all of AT&Ts electrical maintanence when the were the largest employer in NJ. When they decided to get into computers and had to compete in an unregulated environment, they got into trouble. It used to be a cradle to grave company. People assumed they were set for the rest of their life.When they had their first round of layoffs, people had heart attacks, one guy blew his brains out in his office and another stormed into the executive section to go ballistic on the big shots. We installed Maglocks on their doors after that.My wife worked there and survived several layoffs. Then she was split off into Lucent and then Avaya. She was eventually offered a buyout with no guarantee of her job if she stayed. Five years on her age and on her pension. Love Ahall’s take on how things can go down.Promises that aren’t in writing are just lip service.</blockquote>
