What I see happening now is that the younger people are at risk so my line COULD end up with a bunch of old ladies and that’s it working it. Then I wont produce parts worth shit.

WTF is wrong with old ladies? I accuse you of age discrimination, son. Younger people are more likely to do dope, come into work drunk, leave for a better paying job, and not take their work seriously as the old ladies do.

Yo Momma should give you a good beating for hatin’ on the old whores like that. Shame on you!!!

Well the simple fact of the matter is that younger people MOVE FASTER than older people. I don’t think there is any argument that can be made that proves that otherwise.

My product is a manual and hard process and I have the data that backs me up showing that employee X (who is young) builds parts faster than employee Y (who is closer to retirement). This is called Productivity.

  1. my company is not a US company so age discrimination does not come into play for 90% of our plants. For the other 10% I would say that it still does but like you said it’s illegal. I myself was denied a promotion for being “too young”.

  2. I would never fire an old lady for this. Rather I would fire the lazy asses who keep calling out “sick”.

Finally, no old lady will give me a beating as I can simply move out of the way faster than she can react and she’ll just break a hip :stuck_out_tongue:

Hit him with your walker Yo Momma!

I’ll trip him as he runs by

That’s what they tell you. They are using this drug test as direct evidence of violation of company policy to cull the herd. The highest level corporate executives won’t suffer the consequences of a weekend coke binge in Vegas with their high priced hookers.

Profits always come before people in any large company.

Well companies do exist to make a profit. If you are the bottom of the barrel don’t fuck around.

And the power brokers didn’t get there by luck. Double standards or not they worked their asses off to control the money and would dance circles around most work ethics.

No shit. Unless you are a contract laborer, companies don’t owe you shit. When your skills no longer pay there is no reason for you to be around.
