Latest from "my source," definately another round of displacements and furloughs in first quarter of 09'. Recieved this information this morning.
Sorry guys, hope for a drastic change but for now that is the plan.

Ask your "source" when we can expect to see the furlough list and dates! I want to know!!

You do not need a source to know that we are going to furlough.

Call me crazy, but is anyone else out there happy to get furloughed. This is a POS company. I was upset at first about loosing my job but now I am excited about moving on, or getting out of this retarded perfession all together.

I wonder if that new Honda plant in Indiana is hiring?
