Beware of big corporations. Lifetime jobs are permanently gone.

it's all starting to come down, it will not be long now. More are starting to notice it. I gave a presentation to our Government a few weeks ago about replacing all the truck drivers that work in the Oil Fields in For Mac Alberta and S.E. British Columbia. The boardroom went deathly silent when I told them about the impact this will have, especially in the S.E. British Columbia region where the majority of the small towns are completely and totally reliant on drivers wages. I even had one young lady ask me to keep our meeting private and to not let it get out that our own government is privately funding this venture. Up here in Canada our government is very concerned about the huge divide coming between the have and have not's. I suspect it is going to be far far worse for our neighbours to the south. Mark my words, driverless Heavy Haul Trucks (think CAT 793's) will eventually replace approximately 80% of the workforce in S.E. British Columbia. The exact same report I gave to Ottawa will eventually end up on the Board of Directors agenda. They will make a motion to approve this as the savings from eliminating drivers is just too great to ignore. Sad but true. Learn a trade that robots can't do. I heard over 50% of young adults entering high school today will simply exist on a living wage (barely living wage at that).

Those very same corporations will be having all kinds of problems soon, you can't take intelligence and know how out of the equation not without hurting the company in the long run. Those same corps. will end up paying all kinds of penalties and fees for jobs done incompetently and projects running beyond their specified finish dates. When you start adding all these up they might as well have kept their former staff members who at least knew what they were doing. They will also find getting contracts will become harder because nobody wants to work with firms who cannot promise a good return for their money.

Too bad they are laying off people with 25-30 years of experience at Nike.

My partner gave her life (28 yrs) to this company and this is how they treat her?

WTF is wrong with people?

They will hire newbies. Pay them very little. Rinse, repeat.

I'm right there with you!

I'm starting to get very concerned about health care and it eating up my life savings. It's not fair to those of us who bought into their system and now they're changing the rules.

Unless you have a good business or a secure life time skillset...

Don't get married.

Don't have kids.

Don't buy a new car.

Don't buy a boat.

Don't buy any expensive toys.

Don't eat out.

Don't have cable tv.

Don't buy a home.

SAVE SAVE SAVE SAVE

I'm stating this in all seriousness. You will be miserable if you do.

This is a good lesson to all'ya pride, naive, gullible, ignorants with cushy jobs your house of cards is faling. I am glad you can finaly get a taste of it
