How Bad Are Things at Ford?
Things are so bad at work right now that instant messaging is becoming a tool to keep track of your friends and make sure they have not been fired. (Or "involuntarily seperated," to use the current corporate lingo.)
One of my friends had a problem yesterday with his badge. It wouldn't work when he showed up for work. His heart skipped a few beats as he dealt with the sudden fear that he had been fired.
Things are not fun.
My sympathies to the folks at GM, who are the latest people to have to suffer a round of staff reductions.
