a friend worked at a local newspaper. He was the guy who kept the printing presses running. They decided to downsize and he got caught up in it. Then the presses broke. No one on staff could get em started back. They called him for the job. He took a look at the machine walked up inside and hit something with a large ball peen hammer. The presses immediately went back to work. They aske for a bill. He gave em one for $10,000 bucks. They demanded an itemized statement.

1. Hitting the press with a ball peen hammer $1.00
2. Knowing where to hit it $9,999.00

Nemo > Take the buy out............


A few years ago, there was a buy out offer. A co-worker
of mine (he and I do the same thing) were called in to
see the Big Boss . . (one at a time) and we was both told
we were not getting a buy out offer. Something about we
was too valuable (and darn near impossible to find anyone
with our levels of expertise on our equipment) .. .
(I knew I shoulda hit them up for a BIG raise.)

This time around it smells like someone much higher up on
the food chain has decided to get rid of anyone who
costs the company money . . . the maintenance people
(of which I are one) are getting let go this time.

My boss said he was offered a buy out . . . but he is not
going to take it. He said he wants to watch and see how
long till the place self destructs.

And then there is always the possibility that 'they' might
recognize the mistake, and not let us go anyway.

I think I'll take the offer.
Zim.
