I sacrificed most of my waking hours to help build this company. I missed my kids football and baseball games, working long hours away from home. Yes the money was good, but I honestly believe I put in a hell of a lot more than I ever took out. I realize when times are tough cits have to be made, but why pick on the people who have devoted their whole lives to building this company? And the ultimate insult? Being replaced by a gooey duck.

Sad that 20 yr guys want to be laid off to get away from the buddy system. I know for a factor guys makin more money than 30 yr guys doing the same job. It all who you know and tea bag. Sad when you ask Hr about pay scale and they look at you stupid. Come layoff here I am ready for a real Job.
that's what i want to know - i was laid off after 24 years as a dept. admin - frankly i think they did me a favor - no more having to worry about when my number was up
Why do you think BHI owes you anything? You agreed to work for a salary and benefits. You can leave the company at anytime. You got paid for your work every 2 weeks. Its your own fault if you feel like you have given more than baker has given you.
Well I am sorry you are gone regardless of how or why. Freeliving is just a jerk.
Most guys I work with think they put in far more than they take out. The truth is they are deluded. It's fighting the self-importance some people have of themselves.
Im glad youre layed off, or even fired is fine with me because you are so stupid to not realize BHI or any big corporation doesnt care one bit about you.
Yes 129545 - there are a few of us, who has given our all to BHI........... it is what it is! And gut wrenching - but what do we do?
Job insecurity is the new normal. It's one-way honor system in which workers are beholden to employers, but employers are not. The one-way honor system is when individual workers profess having an intense work ethic that also involves loyalty or identifying with the employers. On the other hand, for the last 30 years or so, employers have been pulling away from making any similar pledge. And there's no blame for employers — even people who had been laid off said it's not the company's job to worry about workers, they have to be lean and mean in a tough economy. Americans appear to have entirely capitulated to the model of the high-performance company that doesn't owe anything to workers. It is reshaping our family lives for the worse.
What is a gooey duck?
