If you have merit, then yes. *If all you do is basically show up every day, then no. *All-in-all it is a mindset paradigm. * i love the rightwing mythology of 'merit' based employment. your boss thinks you're a threat to him? you're gone. smarter than he is? you're gone. more personality? you're gone. doesn't like your car? you're gone. this myth that the right wing proposes....companies employ on the basis of 'merit' is laughable. but i suppose it enables them to sleep at night, just like a little kid who has his security blanket and sucks his thumb It is one of the reasons that most public sector employees are perceived as not doing dick (The old 50 government workers & 50 Lesbians in one room joke). *Since excellence will not lead to a pay increase, promotion, or any other type of personal reward most do not bother. *In those organizations there is absolutely no reason to excel since excellence is not rewarded. and, i suppose, it's a reason why america is run by lawyers and accountants rather than people who work for a living by the way...how'd this myth of 'merit' work out for lehman brothers over the last year? |

'justwait' seems to think that if the rich steal from you, that's OK. god forbid the middle class even begin to question authority. that's just not permitted. |

Unionization is quite a recent thing with IBM. The first alliance was in 1999. thanks for proving my point. the semiconductor industry in the US has collapsed. but IBM remains competitive due to its unionized workforce i agree that unionization is a wonderful thing. the NON unionized companies in silicon valley have disappeared. Now, in recent history, in 2001, IBM cut 500 workers in Burlington, VT, 400 in Endicott, NY, 200 in East Fishkill, 180 in Rochester, NY, 150 in Freemont, CA and 75 in Raliegh, NC. In 2002, over 9,000 jobs were cut in June of 2002 and another 14,000 in August of the same year. Their was a mass termination at Lotus Professional Services (which is owned by IBM). Half of the consultants working there were told to find new jobs withing LPS or be let go. The IBM retirement package now requires that new retirees will have to pay for medical benefits. again, thanks for proving my point. national semi in silicon valley is closed. non union. phillips in san antonio is closed. non union. motorola is closed. non union. again and again it's the NON union plants that have disappeared. So much for increased benefits by being unionized. ;( really? so why don't you get a job with a non-unionized plant? oh. there aren't any thanks again for proving why unions are great. Your anecdotes prove nothing. There are NO unionized semiconductor plants in Silicon Valley. Or elsewhere, for that matter, AFAIK. gee. it's too bad you don't know the industry. ever hear of IBM? oh. you haven't. but you're an authority on the industry And you're a damned fool. Never insult a man unless you're sure you will survive the insult. It's why manners were invented. I've heard of IBM. I used to work for NEC in the Silicon Valley wafer fab facility and backend manufacturing. Also worked for National Semiconductor, Signetics/Phillips, Fujitsu, and a few others. They helped me retire early. Just for brags, here are a few jobs I worked at various companies: engineer, engineering manager, field applications engineer, field applications manager, development tools manager, business planning manager, director of marketing. In fact, I could say you're not even qualified to evaluate my resume. Now let's look at a partial list of who actually had unionized semiconductor plants in Silicon Valley: Intel - No. National Semiconductor - No. NEC - No. (second plant was in Roseville, CA) Hitachi - No. Fujitsu - No. (plant was in OR) Cypress - No. AMD - No. Micron - No. (actually in Boise, ID) In fact, the unions never got so much as a toehold in Silicon Valley. Yet companies like AMD and Intel have survived and today are quite profitable. But they have had to restructure themselves literally every damned year. As to IBM, well, that company damn near shot itself to death twenty years back. Fortunately for it, its management learned early that they were NOT competitive in manufacturing - which is why they got out of the mainframe biz early, and why they quit the PC market even while it was still hot. As to their two chip plants, only the one in Fishkill has been renovated to be commercially viable. The other stays alive doing God knows what. Certainly they won't tell me, and I'm not inclined to do a white paper for you for free. Most, if not all, semi plants today survive by manufacturing for others as well as the parent company. Look up Globalfoundries and Taiwan Semiconductor for examples. Semiconductor plants all across the US are closing because the plants age, require billions of dollars to renovate to be competitive, and so have been shut down in favor of using plants offshore. And just FYI, Silicon Valley is one hellaciously expensive place to live. Nobody in their right mind would try to build a new plant there. agreed. and since there were no unionized plants there, ever, and there are few plants there today, unions had zip to do with the death of the industry in the US Ask IBM why it could not sustain profitability with its major product lines, and why it had to close plants world-wide. But the industry is not dead; even if the plants are mostly all offshore today. I was surprised to see the AMD/Global plant being built in upstate NY. I could not see how Global could sustain profitability given the NY tax structure, so I checked and found that NY state is giving Global an 'assistance package' of $1.37 billion. That plant will need a complete renovation within ten years, or less. I wonder what Global and New York State will do then? -- Cheers, Bama Brian Libertarian "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana |
