Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
This article, (below), was posted in the paper. I have mixed emotions about this. I think many of these people were entrenched in their jobs and not looking at the reality of the situation. I have gone through a couple large reorganizations and know what it's like to go through something like that. However, I jumped before the axe fell, and moved on. Do you think many of these people were too passive about their situation? Maybe I am too harsh? No one will look out for you...but you. Opinions?
Space workers struggle a year after last shuttle | Fox News
TITUSVILLE, Fla. – A year after NASA ended the three-decade-long U.S. space shuttle program, thousands of formerly well-paid engineers and other workers around the Kennedy Space Center are still struggling to find jobs to replace the careers that flourished when shuttles blasted off from the Florida "Space Coast."
Some have headed to South Carolina to build airplanes in that state's growing industry, and others have moved as far as Afghanistan to work as government contractors. Some found lower-paying jobs beneath their technical skills that allowed them to stay. Many are still looking for work and cutting back on things like driving and utilities to save money.
