[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 1390467, member: 14176"] Terry got chewed up and spit out by "the machine" that is corporate America. Due to a society of instant gratification, it is no longer good enough to do well. Instead a company must consistently do better quarter after quarter, otherwise investors jump ship and the company falters. This requirement is unsustainable. Meanwhile day traders and hedge funds reap all the spoils and the front line worker ends up unemployed with what's left of their 401k, a program that was never designed to be a retirement plan, rather a tax shelter. There is no longer any room for loyalty, appreciation or rights in relation to tenure outside of the union shop. It's a shame, because it is what built what is now a crumbling middle class, the backbone of America. The pendulum will not begin to swing back to its rightful place, in the middle, until we wake up as a nation and completely revamp the system, starting with an antiquated set of antitrust laws followed by the eradication of all lobbies.
