When I was UAW the layoffs were few and far between.
And didn't last long either.
The crossword puzzle bit reminded me of being in that position.
I was hired to the bench by CGA as a computer analyst - in '88.
Spent at least two months doing crossword puzzles on the bench before
they got me on a contract. They wanted me, and they got their money
back easy.
But those were good times in the business.
When times got bad there was no bench. You were out.
