Harsh on X

Luis thinks I'm being too hard on the 20 people who stayed behind to finish out X. I don't know if I'm being too hard on them or if I'm being fair. Why should I feel bad for Moses (Luis' ex-supervisor) just b/c he's drowning in work right now. Why should I care that Pete (Luis ex-previous supervisor) get's teary every time he sees one of the laid off employees. Should I care right now that they're drowning in work???

I don't. Even if I "should", I don't. X has been screwing the employee families for years. Between the crap hours employees had to keep, trips to Thailand/Taiwan on a moment's notice, the treatment... all of it. When have ANY of those people cared??? How did Moses show his sympathy for Luis when I was hospitalized on the 31st??? By trying to screw him with PTO instead of accepting him working "from home" while still expecting him to get all that crap done??? Or was it when Pete told him that he had to go to Thailand with 36 hrs notice??? When did ANY of those a-holes show any sympathy for screwing employees??? How about making them work Chirstmas Eve a couple years ago??? Or when they laid off the fab??? At least when they did that they helped people find work. This time??? Not even a ltr of rec. Dave feels bad??? When??? When he charged for the laptops??? Or when he didn't fight harder for severence pay??? And I'm supposed to feel bad. Screw that!

Luis says he feels bad for the 20 people left b/c they didn't "do" this. Jeff (Ritchier) and Ramsy did this. Well... I hope someone sues each of them!!! They did do this. Moses and Pete and Leslie and the others may not have laid all of these people off, but they sure as hell made life impossible for them for a REALLY long time.

Maybe Luis is a better person than I am. Maybe I'm just cold and mean. I don't know. All I know is that they laid Luis off KNOWING that he has triplets on the way, and they've done NOTHING to help employees find new jobs.

I'd totally forgotten

... that I had opened this blog just over 2 yrs ago.

So much has happened in the past two + years that I never wrote down (and I'd have to go into storage in order to find my handwritten journals).

I'll take this find as a fresh start.

It's not often we get a fresh start in life, but maybe... just maybe... going back and writing down past memories will be theraputic for me.
