Sorry to hear you had to lay two off, there Scott. When the economy, and demand, comes back up you can hopefully rehire.

I one time had to lay off 12 guys when the economy tanked when Carter/Reagan were in.

Unfortunately, I held on to them a bit too long, partly out of the goodness of my heart, but more because I couldn't believe how quickly the house of cards, and therefore profits fell. I ensured that every single one of them had a different job before I gave them notice.

We lived on $15k that year and, for one thing, my kids had to drink powdered milk which they didn't like or deserve. All the bills got paid, but it wasn't easy. But a man's word is his word. Deserving has nothing to do with it.

Yeah, I got the nutts.

Wes
