More LU musings
spongebrain: Author means: "Ms. Stiles, who is poor......"
------------------
"My dream was to retire and take care of my granddaughter, Isabella," she said. Now, she is doing contract work four days a week.
spongebrain: Soon , her dream willl be to contract 4 days a week
lazlo: ha yes
lazlo: "I had a nice warm office"
------------------
"She and her co-workers passed around what they called a retirement clock."
"I had one of those little clocks that counts the days," she said.
"We had a group of girls who worked together all these years, and the person that was closest to retirement got the clock.
lazlo: they should have been working instead
lazlo: maybe they wouldn't have been fired
------------------
"Now, Lucent is dismissing 15,000 to 20,000 more workers who did not take the buyout. "
lazlo: nice
lazlo: suckers
lazlo: moral: if offered buyout, take it
lazlo: you won't like the alternative
lazlo: like when they ask president to resign
spongebrain: yes, when the bully offers to count to 10 before beating you up.....you run and take the headstart...
------------------
While they look for new jobs, Lucent workers read about Richard McGinn, the fired chief executive who was recently paid a $5.5 million severance package and given a pension of about $1 million a year. And they have read about the 5,000- acre golf course the company built in New Jersey for $40 million.
lazlo: yes, they deserve it
lazlo: these workers were just leeches
lazlo: they are lucky they had a job at all
lazlo: the big wigs deserve the golf course
lazlo: maybe they can start their own company
lazlo: and build themselves a golf course
spongebrain: corporate america exists for 1% of top pyrimid

Glad your not an economist
As an educated network professional who's talent allowed you to post this baseless pandering was paid less than a semi skilled construction worker. Quite nearly having to plead for time off so that I could spend Christmas with my kids and not a hotel somewhere. Shut your pie hole
