We had "Black Friday" where I work today. We were expecting it yesterday, as it was a payday, and that's usually when they do it. Out of 200 employees, 27 were let go, and their positions were eliminated. 6 were hourly, and TWENTY-ONE were managers! Absolutely stunning....
I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

Gee....looks a lot like where I work.
And I'm the guy in the hole!
Painfully true. So funny it hurts!
This is exactly how corporate America is set up.

OOOPS! Forgot to include that I still have a job!
I'm not a manager, just one of the "Guys in the Hole"!
