GM Layoffs....damn shame

So I don't get to watch much TV because I don't really find an interest in it but its weird because I work at a banks call center (not risking my job by saying where) and various people call for many reasons and its strange because they will call and ask different things regarding their account due to financial situations or layoffs and that's how I find out about certain things...Ex: GM's layoff.
This is just showing how really horrible the economy is at this point. Some people have yet to feel the hardship the US is faced with at this point and others have been feeling it for years now. We can all say how we would do things if we owned companies but point is we don't we just simply work for them. I remember being at the bank and the calls were down so low. I take about 300 calls a day and it was down to maybe 120 and that's terrible. At that point I had to take a long look at things and wonder where does my job stand. See most of us work at jobs that require people to have some sort of income in order to remain employed. Being at a bank there is no serious security because if people don't have jobs they don't have any money to put in a bank non the less shop and use their checkcard. So I am reading about the GM and I can just imagine how the families must feel. It doesn't matter how much you make at your job everyone always tends to live above their means and me personally have done the same. I am now looking for a second job simply for income and security because WE just never know what the next day has to offer. Do one thing everyday, when your driving to work, or taking the bus, or catching a ride, or even walking please thank God for your job even if its not the best job...it is a job.


Read:DETROIT - General Motors Corp. started firing 1,600 white-collar workers Monday, continuing its effort to slash costs and qualify for more government loans on the same day it revealed it spent $2.8 million in the first three months of this year to lobby federal lawmakers.

Meanwhile, Fiat’s CEO left Italy to resume critical talks on an alliance with Chrysler LLC, as deadlines draw closer for GM and Chrysler to finish their restructuring plans.

Both automakers are living on a combined $17.4 billion in government loans and have said they’ll need more money to survive. Chrysler must cut its debt and its labor costs and forge an alliance with Fiat Group SpA by April 30, or President Barack Obama says Chrysler won’t get any more help.
