I got into Ford Motor Company in 1968. I retired after 33 years with Ford. Was only laid off once, but it only lasted for 5 weeks before I was called back. I drove hi-lo for the last 10 years or so. I ended up with good benefits but it was a long 33 years. At times I hated the job, but when I'd think about how bad it was everywhere else, I'd stick with it. I really feel for all you guys & gals that can't find jobs. All of the good paying jobs have gone away, mostly to foreign countries. I saw the handwriting on the wall years ago with the invasion of foreign cars & motorcycles. People quit buying American products & destroyed the Unions that were the backbone of this country. Don't get me started.. ..Here is to wishing everyone the luck that I've had in finding a good job.. ..Cheers! | | | Re: Unemployed Vanner Van Club | Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 969 Likes: 1 old hand | old hand Joined: Jul 2011 Posts: 969 Likes: 1 | I've been off for 2 years prior AF Iraq war veteran, it's a lot harder to go from AF blue to corporate grey then they anticipated. anybody got something in Vegas area?
