one of my neighbours works at GM, on the line, unskilled labour. He got offered the buy out, a large chunk of cash, whopping credit towards a new vehicle and he gets out in about a month.
For weeks prior to the decision time, he was whining and carrying on, about how he doesnt know whether to take the buy out or not.
Every time the discussion came up my self and other neighbours were rolling their eyes in disgust, about the fucking idiot even thinking 1 sec and NOT running and accepting the deal. How many other firms, industries get the same opportunity, to walk away and retire?
Most of the working class has to work till they are 65 then retire on a meager pension. What gives someone like a line worker, with no skills, the right to walk away with 65% of his salary till retirement age, then have the gall to bitch about it ?
