       | Absolutely ridiculous that they offered him one week severance
       | after ten years service. Worker protection in America is abysmal.

       | Scripted... BS. 1 week of pay for 10 years. Lol

       | They care for the company so much, but the company does not care
       | about them.

       | Is it just me or these people are morons? They bought into a
