Laid off workers are finding new jobs, but they often pay far less than previous positions

Bobby Carter Jr. spent the job interview trying to hide his 30-year career in human resources. Showing his aptitude as a personnel manager would never get him that job as a stock clerk.

"What would you do if you saw someone stealing something?" the interviewer asked Carter.

The manager in him wanted to say he would either handle the situation himself or call store security. The answer almost tumbled out of his mouth before he stopped it. The interviewer seemed puzzled by the long pause to an apparently simple question.

Finally Carter responded: "I would tell my assistant manager."

4. The pay isn't even as bad a problem as the attitude

Who the hell wants to spend ANY time, for ANY purpose, that is governed in such a way that it is necessary to exclude intelligence?

7. Dumb down the workers... kill all unions....

Eliminate any means by which workers can communicate or organize.

BINGO.. Republican heaven!

A steady supply of cheap labor with no rights .. workers that you can push around until they drop dead from abuse... and they can't do a thing about it.

Voters in Indiana just passed Right to Work laws... wait until they see what happens. I live in Florida.. I can tell you all you need to know about "Right To Work". How about the right to be forever poor and sold into indentured servitude?
