AK at 50% Capacity

Wainscott said the "buy American" provisions in the $787 billion federal stimulus plan are common sense. I would have to agree to disagree on this one.

Wainscott says that more layoffs will happen. Questions for Wainscott- How many of these layoffs will be manager positions? How many upper management positions will be cut- ie- Directors on up? How many upper and middle managers retained will take pay cuts and how much of a cut- percentage wise? Why do you need a company spokesperson like Alan McCoy if times are lean? Can't you consolidate job duties like this to save money on salaries and bennies? How many assistants to the assistants will be retained? Usually, when a company reduces the workforce, they mention labor positions, but seldom mention middle/upper management cuts where the real money is retained by the company. We will never know thw answers to these questions. Big doggies never reveal info. about their kind.

Yeah, but if you've been caught in or read about downsizings over the years, as a worker at Wainscott's company, you'd like to hear that they're also choppin' at the top, Spider. Been there, done that. You know- equal pain throughout the company. I realize that it ain't public and they can chop whenever and where they want. Wasn't telling him how to run his little company- just trying to make a point that the cuts usually come out of the worker pool while the big money stays put. Sorry the message was misinterpreted.

If a failing company can be compared to a sinking ship then it's just a matter of time before every rat is in the water.
