Killing jobs lol, and how about Obamacare helping to kill people. The druggies, most smoke and smokers are notorious for having to return to the hospital again and again. Not any more, they will die.

If anyone is admitted they better hope they don't have to return in 30 days because they won't get admitted because the hospitals will get fined. This fine will also cause the death of people because they will just be given a pill (to die softly) and sent home.

About a month later the Obama administration said don't tell the employees and the Obama administration would pay all legal fees. In other words the American tax payer will pay the legal fees for not telling people they were going to lose their job.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) protects workers, their families, and communities by requiring most employers with 100 or more employees to provide notification 60 calendar days in advance of plant closings and mass layoffs.

I already know two fantastic guys, that just got laid off. Companies do not matter, what does is that they were loyal employees for over the ten yr period. How can this happen.

Summarize, what you think the main reason was, i sincerely do not know, but health-benefits were mentioned, with other things. It is sad, when you have a young family. I hate this again. When obama took office 4 years ago, i myself little me know 22 well now 24 familes that have been effected by unemployment.

The reasons do not matter, just adding to our already high unemployment.

Things are going right back to what they were, you will see, but you asked for it. And i truly don't care, you voted for him, you voted for your right to be fired.

But the OP said that they'd be laying off 153,000 people -- their entire workforce.

That is a lie.

My company has been struggling for the past 3 years. They're trying to stay afloat as long as they can, but we all know we can't hang on for another 4 or 5 years.

Gosh, where is our bailout? Guess we need to unionize.
