I feel for American workers who gave their all for the corporation and
in the end got screwed by it in losing their jobs, or their health care,
or their pensions.



I agree with you. Unfortunately, not all American workers give their
"all" for the corporation.
To many .... too many ... it's a job and that's about where the loyalty
ends.

There should be no loyalty to corporations viewing employees as a number
and ready to release them in a heartbeat without a concern during
downsizing.

Things are not the way they once were.



There is always concern and regret. Or at least there should be. Nobody
running a company wants to lay off employees, especially dedicated, good
ones. But the primary responsibility of the CEO of a company is to the
company and it's survival.
Note: I am *not* talking about big, fortune 500 operations that are only
concerned with meeting next quarter's numbers.
I am talking about the huge population of small companies that employ over
75 percent of people in the US. Those people need to focus on the company.
If they do so successfully, the rest will take care of itself.
