So I'm hearing the continue to lay off good long time folks. Health insurance premiums tripled on 8 days notice - but, get this - also hearing that if you are considered a "critical to the operations" employee you are also getting a pay increase to cover that tripled health insurance premium . . . . wonder how many of the hard working boys and girls in the field got that pay increase??? How long til they are done - pay cuts across the board, health insurance, vendors cutting them off for unpaid bills - paint, flags; offices locked down and eviction notices on the doors; gas cards not working; phones not working . . . .

Sounds like USIC might be gobbling up another company soon.

Hearing that makes me want to not work for them. Is it that bad all over the place or in certain parts of the states?

So who did you hear this from? Is it in all states?

Hey workingstiff - You're sayin' he was downsized because he monitored the'Vine? Another midget-minded, non-producing, middle-management type bites the dust? Darn the luck!

Don't know if it had anything to do with cablevine - just said he was downsized along with a lot of other people at ELM - techs, office pukes and management types - doesn't look like anyone at ELM is safe
