Doc Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Olive Garden, Welch Allyn, Papa Johns... Just look across the pond. there are your answers. Unemployment above 10% is the norm. conner will be one of the first to have his hours reduced under 30. But hey, he can thank Barry for the great welfare he's going to be getting.

It doesn't matter if they are career jobs. They are were jobs. Full time jobs. And Welch Allyn is the biggest med equipment manufacturer in the US.

For someone who claims to be a business person, you sure don't seem to understand labor costs budgeting very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My overhead is close to nil. I don't waste money on gardeners, housekeepers and fancy cars. I live well below my means. Not really. It smells like business. Why would they lay them off now Sod?

You work alone? Hire somebody! Or are you too greedy? Why would they lay them off now Sod? Costs of ACA. They were banking on it getting rolled back with a Romney win.

I don't need the agravation. Besides, when it comes to my work, I am a perfectionist. You work alone? Hire somebody! Or are you too greedy? Costs of ACA.

But it's not enough that you're barely keeping your own house afloat... Oh no... You've decided to attack me for creating two jobs with my household, which is two more than you've created with your business, and for supporting the American auto industry. You're a peculiar little man. Edited November 12, 2012 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinga Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Those are not what I consider career jobs. Except for Welch Allyn, which to be honost, I never heard of. WHAT???!!!!! who the heck are you to judge one job over another? not considered "career jobs"?? What if someone is happy in life working that particular job? Not all of us can be among the demonized wealthy or the even better off political class. Some of us, are quite happy with our lot in life and don't need an a$$ to tell us we're not in a "career job" due to where or for who we work. I happen to have a lot of friends in the food service industry and are arguably, happier than a lot of us working for major corporations sitting at a desk..

Don't the child labor laws already prevent him from working that many hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have I said about the working class that had a hint of something negative? Furthermore, do you even think for a moment that businesses would do something out of spite rather than doing what's good for their business?

TakeYouToTasker Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I'm also curious what I've said that's disparaging of the working class. As I've now been accused of it, I expect my accuser to source his assertion. Edited November 12, 2012 by TakeYouToTasker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
