Laid off and loving it!

Best thing that could have happened to me. Laid off by SJM 2 months after they acquired us. My boss and his boss got laid off the same day I did. If that isn't slash and burn I don't know what is. Great severance, I went 5 months without having to... —  read more

Used to be like family.

Have to keep those shareholders happy. Seems like anyone with 15-20 years with the company is getting the axe. The days of the gold watch are long gone. This place has lost its soul and will grind you under its heel if you allow it. The Sylmar... —  read more 

Pickens

Pickens is a joke. They can't even produce the simplest of products without difficulty. They are plagued by the inability to hire qualified local talent and couple that with a completely inept manufacturing force and you have a recipe for disaster... —  read more
