Tommyboy, I hope all goes well for you. Its ashame its had to come to that. My husband has been laid off from 171st for 5 weeks now.
He found new employment in Texas working for a oil company. As for Steelcase, I've was reading they have recently sent numerous jobs to Mexico. You know as well as I Herman Miller is no different than any other company. Their good at telling employees one thing and doing the total opposite. That company is just as crooked as any other business out there.

I got out of Steelcase in "01". Things sure have changed since then. I think I made the right move. Now anyone who works there doesn't get profit sharing, retirement, and when they do retire, no health insurance [if my memory is corect].

It's a shame altogether. Industry is hurting pretty bad from what I can see.

Daily Horoscope for January 3

Taurus

The steadier you are now, the better: this is not the time to throw caution to the wind and be exceptionally attentive to details. If anything, labour the point and you'll find in a few days' time that you are really glad you did. Friends will be able to give your morale a big boost at the moment, if you're in need of support. Team relationships and efforts work tremendously well at the moment. Why fly solo if you don't need to?
