I'm not going to name names in order to protect the dignity of the three people I know personally who were terminated today in this latest round of management layoffs. They are all from the same, small department. That said...
1. They are all East.
2. Between them they have 100+ years of experience with the company.
3. I worked with them for years, and have seen and experienced first-hand that they are all very talented and do outstanding work.
I find it very interesting that, in spite of these affected employees having had several years of service, they were all relatively young -- i.e., started with Piedmont or USAir early in their careers -- but their ages (mid-40s through early 50s) combined with their years of service made them just about eligible for early retirement. Coinkydink?
They were chronologically the three oldest in the department. I don't think that's a "coinkydink."
Station TrainingJust curious as to which departments these cuts are happening?
CS Training
i heard ....that makes me sad, i cant believe they took them!!!I'm not going to name names in order to protect the dignity of the three people I know personally who were terminated today in this latest round of management layoffs. They are all from the same, small department. That said...

The manager was replaced by someone from the West with less than half the experience, who was his/herself replaced in his/her former role and who has demonstrated a failure to manage effectively within the last six months -- that resulted in multiple public black eyes for the company.
I'm eager for an explanation, other than a distinct preference for West personnel versus East, why Tempe seems to continually replace the competent with the incompetent, besides the truism "birds of a feather flock together."
Now that the buzz saw is running, when they gonna clean out all those old foreman hanging out in Pit SSB? These guys are hiding under the title of vender liaisons. What a deal. If they were serious they would hit there big time....
Age Discrimination Is 'Like a Disease'
George Hayes, a 54-year-old from New Jersey, is suing the global advertising agency McCann Erickson for age discrimination.
"Any company can fire you when there's a reason," Hayes said. "There didn't seem to be any reason other than how old I was."
That was WABC ? or WILS ?ff: Cousin Brucy was my favorite. Wanted to be like him. Did a little over 2 years in radio in the 60's. Oh well wasn't quite him
Back to topic...sorry for all the good ones who have lost their positions & I wish them nothing but the best.
