although....

i'm sure everyone wishes ANY employee well at ANY comoany at risk, the point people are making is that you're not the only ones....

my company closed two factories abroad last month, making 800 redundant. one of my biggest customers in the uk cut 450 jobs in feb, and many other customers are having cutbacks. Just dont see why journs are so different.....especially when the EDP wastes so many column inches on doncasters spin each week when that space could go to a trained professional journalist.
