Laid more off on Tuesday and we'd. I'd guess around 16 more.
Total since January around 30% of the shop. And furloughs coming soon.
Anymore layoffs this week?
Heard from a good source that more layoffs are coming this week. Seems that the names of those to be terminated come from Houston and not your local supervisors.
Yes, I believe more layoffs to come. Slum has been raping Smith Bits practically from day one. Even when times were better in the industry, they've been squeezing every last drop out of this plant. And the employees are disrespected, unvalued, and thrown away like trash. I've been here almost 30 years so I'm probably next to go. I'll feel sorry for those who are left.
I believe full time 24 yesterday 18 in January. Around 35 temps total since December ? I do not think it's done though I predict more in the coming weeks
Sorry to hear this, I think many have predicted this happening. Do you know how many folks were let go. Sorry and good luck.
