Everyone is looking at other industries. I read these comments and it's like, duh! Of course no one wants to be furloughed or 401k-less or vacationless. But there's 12% unemployment in LA County. You get 6 weeks of severance max. Regardless of how shitty the company is, being homeless is shittier. <br /><br />Everyone who was going to walk out on principle and get their spouses or parents to support them has walked. It doesn't mean the rest of us don't have principles. It means we have bills and no net.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514745.post-9749156091891637962009-04-23T16:04:00.000-07:002009-04-23T16:04:00.000-07:00Look, the business is in a sad state.
