After watching the systems change slowly over the years, after almost forty years with one company, it became very apparant that these new changes were dramatically different from previous changes. Everywhere I went, everyone I talked to, company after company, the changes were similar and thorough. We were all going through this centralization, or creation of an American socilaism together. Yet, no one seemed to know that we were all in the same boat. Seeing this all happening over such a broad spectrum of the infrastructure system it became obvious there was more to business systems that what we were being told. It was time for someone to put it all together, who better than I, who had lived and breathed the changes, and from my position, saw it all happen.
Being a baby boomer, the thought of how we would be dealt with, the numbers were so great, the technology so expansive, the mission became very personal. Upon deciding to retire, it was disconcerting to go on line, fill out a few lines, and submitt for retirement. As the process continued towards my last day at work, no one called, was there anyone out there? Who knew, did my boss even know? Finally, a message sent to the district office stating to insure that I was no longer on the payroll as of November 1, 2009, meant two things. One ,my boss now knew, and second, how cold to dismiss an employee of 40 years, through basically a text message. This was not my father's world.
Living in small town America, seeing how people were being treated, here where change was one time slower that the big cities, and yet now the changes were quick. Wall Street was sucking cash out of Main Street. My savings and stocks were losing interest and value. Investment on Main Street dried up, with friends and relatives beginning to lose jobs, businesses and life styles. With great speed companies protected the bottom line at the expense of the individual employee. No one here knew how this happened, most were still in shock asking what happened. It was time to write the book.показать меньше
