I got laid off last September from Deere, I built construction equipment. These layoffs have absolutely devastated my community. We have three plants here, plus the PDC and the headquarters. There are guys at Seeding right now with 16 years in that might get laid off.
But we have to remember the important thing: they’re still giving millions of dollars in corporate bonuses and they’re still making ludicrous profits. Who cares if a few hundred workers lose their jobs with no recourse? John May (he’s the greedy pig-fuck CEO) needs caviar for his horses and a new boat.
