OK, The Good News Is...
"
...I didn't lose my office job...yet. Rumor has it there's going to be another wave of cuts on the horizon, but no one knows for sure.
The bad news is that I work for a little auto supplier called Delphi. Heard of it? The four people who really know what's going on don't feel the need to share that information with the rest of us, so it's chaos on the shop floor. It's the nature of the beast...if you don't have the answers, make them up. What's happening is that someone will read a news article, take two or three points out of it and spin it into some sensational story to run their mouths about.
It all makes my brain hurt. I just want an accurate answer one way or the other. If I'm going to get screwed by my company, I'd like to have the opportunity to prepare myself for it. We all just want to know. Are GM & the UAW going to step up to the plate and get a deal done? I think GM just might, but the UAW scares me. These guys have their heads stuck in the 70's where strong-armed union bullying was the best negotiating tool. That shit doesn't work anymore. If the UAW doesn't bend, they'll condemn us all. Shit.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
