Sir.. would you like that toasted does not take a lot of skills.
One size indeed does not fit all. What one business might be able to do does not mean they all can.

How did the employees protest? Maybe the owner was paying all that he could afford. I don't know the whole story, but I support a business owners right to fire employees that don't produce.
But you don't know that they weren't producing, you're assuming so because you automatically place more faith in the business owner.

That is something the fired worked can find great comfort in. "I got fired but my boss used improper English in doing so"

Seriously, that's how dumb they are.

I'm still laughing at them.
What a wonderful Christmas message brought to you by the right on Christmas Eve.

She should have furthered her education and nailed down her skills before she had kids.

Another rocket science moment.

You're welcome.

(Whining about single motherhood does not further your cause nor does it endear your cause to hard working taxpayers.)

The strike caused the business to close it's doors for five days, so I would say they weren't producing. They hurt the business badly due to their selfish strike.

Not as funny as an earthquake in a third world nation, but it will do.

I know of a bank that roughly did the same thing. Some 30 or so employee's were zapped over short period when a new manager entered the scene.

The only way they were able to keep the doors open in the next two years due to a complete withdrawal from local interest and business was due to deep pockets within the organization. It is picking up a little but went from a top outfit to what would be a no go if a venture was to consider starting up even now, 5 years later.

the only thing that would make sense here, is having a look at the competition to see what relationships possibly exist, or new partner style set ups.

like so many things at the hard working peoples daily perseverance it would appear as though they were led to do what they did as part of a plan, with the end game being the final notice.

People today are so shifty with money and so indifferent to who they use and how, it is not reasonable to simply take stories at a glance for what they seem to be and, nobody is stupid.
