Thread regarding Walmart layoffs

I received my meeting invitation this morning . . .

I am in ISD. Does anyone else who has been let go with an invitation in the late morning start cleaning up their pod with a song list playing in their heads as they await the ax? I do. “The Greatest Love of All” (the original, not the Whitney Houston version) and “Take This Job and Shove It” by Johnny Paycheck are on heavy rotation in my head right now.

Here's a song for you: "Someday We'll All Be Free"... the lyrics are spot on!

Hang on to the world as it spins around

Just don't let the spin get you down

Things are moving fast

Hold on tight and you will last

Keep your self respect, your manly pride

Get yourself in gear

Keep your stride

Never mind your fears

Brighter days will soon be here

Take it from me, someday we'll all be free, yeah

Keep on walking tall

Hold your head up high

Lay your dreams right up to the sky

Sing your greatest song

And you'll keep going, going on

It always happens in the morning. They round you up in groups and go over it. It is very sad that most people have to leave a place and come to Bentonville. Then they are let go, and may need to uproot thier lives to find a new job somewhere else. 1000 people is like 6% of the walmart workforce at the home office complex. Pretty crappy odds of taking a job here. All this while precious Dougie and the other execs get there huge bonuses while patting themselves on their backs. Another one bites the dust.

The Eagles song "Already Gone" also fits the situation. More positive.
