rob Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Wait, jay, that article said the recession ended and unemployment was dropping. Omg did Obama's plan work??!!! Or do you disagree with just that part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Many observers would say these changes reflect a loss of power and leverage by workers, and they would be right. But management, more keenly aware of offshoring’s perils, is also trying to create a different (and better) factory environment. Lol, they promise to be better to workers this time.

bistro Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 From a managment point of view, many workers want less work and more money. There is too much hype about dead end jobs. Everyone in the world can't make $100,000.00 a year, bread would be $20.00 a loaf. A true dead end job is the one you HATE to go to everyday.

E-rock Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The comment section is awesome! "I seriously almost cried when I read this article! This is the finest modern example I've seen of how the free market system takes care of itself. The invisible hand is guiding jobs back to our shores, and allowing once great American companies to find new promise in American manufacturing and ingenuity. This DESPITE the union's best efforts to crush the company, DESPITE unfair economic practices on the part of China, and WITHOUT any intervention by the US Government. HUZZAH!!!"

Everyone in the world can't make $100,000.00 a year, bread would be $20.00 a loaf. A true dead end job is the one you HATE to go to everyday. With the two-tier job category in place you'll start out at a whopping $28k a year. Hardly extravagant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prole Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 THE RACE TO THE BOTTOM IS WORKING! A race you and your 5-year-plan could surely win if only more than 1% of the population would follow you! A plan for the next five years? If only. The American political and economic elite can't think past the next five minutes. Guess our now redundant population can keep circling the bowl subsisting on crumbs in the form of media puff pieces/press releases from General Electric.
