Having employees is not a right either! If there is not a fair exchange, then the company will have no employees (and many shouldn't). That is why I agreed with unions, it helps reduce abuse by the business.

[WeAreFrakked]

As one poster replied, having a job is not a right. Companies don't exist to provide substanance to anyone - they exist to make money. Greed and coveting what others have is what business is all about. Its naive to think companies care anything about people - they don't. If you want that, build a socialist state where businesses exist for the benefit of society, not the other way around. Call me cynical, but it seems this is just the way it is.

[snowfreeze]

That's pretty damn hillarious, but considering that I've been laid off since Early November, 2008 (Yeah, over a year and how noodles only taste good for about 10 minutes) then QUIT GIVING THE MORONS IDEAS (they don't get the irony!!!).

[chiyerano]

When you think about it, you're going to lose the job any way, one way or another (layoff, quitting, company shutdown, death) so you might as well focus on what's more important besides a job, like your health and family. A job may not be a right but it's not worth your life either.

[DEMCAD]

@chiyerano LOL. Are you serious?

Don't you think losing the job will have an impact on your health and family. LOL

[chiyerano]

@DEMCAD Yes, I am serious. Having a job at times can actually have an impact on your health and family, too, and not necessarily in a good way. I know. At the end of the day, a job is just a temporary solution to a lifelong issue or problem and I am glad that there are other ways to make money and get income. I feel for those that base their sense of self worth and life on having a job as they are the ones that tend to take it the hardest when they are laid off or fired.

[CommentorX]

@chiyerano Other ways to make money and get income? You aren't one of those "Buy my tutorial on how to start an Internet business" scammers, are you?

/ Crap, they're everywhere.

[chiyerano]

@CommentorX Have you ever heard of income investments? That's one way to make money and it's perfectly legitimate. You can also sell your recyclables among other things. If you have property, you can rent it out. Need I go on?

[chiyerano]

@CommentorX Seriously, try thinking out of the box. You don't need to become a scammer but there are ways to make money outside of a job that are perfectly legitimate.

[chiyerano]

@CommentorX For example, you could try INVENTING something that actually solves a common problem a lot of people have. That's a really good way to make some money, just make sure you get it patented or copyrighted.

[UL439]

@chiyerano but so soon you do it, you are giving yourself a job isn't it.

"INVENTING something that actually solves a common problem a lot of people have"

you are talking about starting up your own gig and work your ass 24/7

[chiyerano]

@UL439 Have you invented something? I know of people who have invented something yet didn't have to work their asses 24/7. They were able to pick their own hours. Just making the point that there are other ways of making money outside of a typical job.

[chiyerano]

@DEMCAD I don't know about you but not having a job makes it easier for me to focus on what's really important to me like my family, friends, and health. The only reason why I would want a job anyway is so that I can pay off debts and get some applicable experience and money to put into my own business, personal interest, or perhaps an investment opportunity. Otherwise, I wouldn't work if I didn't have to. I'd gladly find other things to do.

[podrag]

The stockholders own the business. Those with jobs are lucky to be employed at all. A job is not a right.

[chiyerano]

As long as I am debt free and have money in the bank and my bills are paid, I don't really care about being laid off. Especially when it is just a job that I'm losing and not something more important like my life, that I am losing.

[polo9995]

ur dumb, even if what u say is true. then you wouldnt get an income and a job would be hard to find-dumbass

[chiyerano]

And you're an idiot if you think you can actually secure income and financial freedom just by working a job. And if finding a job is so hard for YOU to find then you are the dumbass since I don't have this problem. I can always find another job, not so sure YOU can though, dumbass.

[chiyerano]

Quit trolling already.

[axe863]

If they have the right to hire you, they have the right to fire you. If they didnt, they would hire less people and it would increase the long run unemployment

[EVILGOKUGUANACO]

Screw you. lol

[phdecora]

'no, not me'... lol!!!

[BoneJacker01]

Nortel Networks did the same thing,

Layoffs with no severance, and bonuses for the execs - I hope they go under

[TPCrisis]

I got the same treatment, worked for this company for over 9 years and they laid me off while other assholes that were there less than 2 stayed.

[lawnside82]

lol my job did the same thing..... "streamline" lol

[DullardGuy]

my company didnt even do the "streamline" thing. Came in monday morning and them mother fucking managers just started shoulder tapping people.

[lawnside82]

[Anothercoilgun]

This video hits the nail on the head. Please see my first comment.

manicturtle: You and I are on the same wavelength. At least about this :)

[Anothercoilgun]

Let me say this. The power to stop layoffs is in the companies. All they have to do is eat some loss for 1 year or 2. Not lose money just lose money increase from prior year. If each company does this the problem vanishes overnight.

But no.... "We want more each year else off with there heads!" The greedy consuming all the resource and unwilling to save the country are the terrorist. For it is them who choose to ruin the economy by not caring not sharing.

[BoneJacker01]

You said it - They should be tried convicted and have to do time. Someone needs to do something Robin Hood style.

[hollywoodpsychic]

Tiffany's hot as a pink triangle lady. And you're not so bad as a fuzzy haired blockhead, I might add.

[epar83]

"Lay-offs? I thought he was talking about building a house." LOL

[tupello9]

I think this animation is pretty relevant considering the current economic climate...

Well done!

[gardenspoon]

Interesting, that guy's head looks like a bungalo roof...

Cool vid :)

[Maysey1]

Well put together. Maybe corporations someday will learn their best assets are their employees, take care of them and your company will prosper.

[turnerlandow]

ha. :)

[tbcurrent]

I can totally relate.

[openeyefilms]

"I think I understand." LOL!
