Yellow | Laying Off From the Top First?

Sorry for the double post, I couldn't delete the first one in time. I didn't use
proper english in one sentence. Now I'm really back to non posting mode
 
Hey Barney I was at a complete loss as to the response to your question too. Right now I'm thinking Bufbil and lowmans post are misplaced from another thread, that would explain it a little. Post away Brother I understood the question and your right there are times people would jump at the chance for volintary for lots of different reasons. :1036316054:
 
All you have in the Union is seniority---- ask anyone who has been in the Union for a long time---only way to go is bottom up

True. Another thing is that to have insurance you have to work 2 days per week or be available all week. Why would a senior worker want to be without insurance?

I have no problem taking off once a week to spread the work.....just ask anybody who knows me.....but I wouldn't want to pay COBRA and I doubt many would.

Senority, thats right, so why not have one more opertunity to use it. (SENORITY) The spouse just might have a Good / Better job with all the perks & they may opt to take advantage of layoff (Just an Option) Take a winter vacation, at the same time letting the Bottom employee stay working, family ins. etc. Now this is just my opinion, i see nothing wrong with "asking" Top Down. No takers then Bottom Up. Mustache Retired Roadway:smilie_132:
 
I always seen it as a chance to get time off without burning my vacation time. :woohoo1: Felt fortunate to have enough senority to get the voluntary! I just never thought that there would be a debate on this. Go figure.:shrug:
 
I'm not against it I just don't see it happening on a large scale at any time. If a guy had a wife with good insurance that might be a different story.
 
It's not everyone,but sometimes we get sick and tired of the grind and if a person with seniority knows that company has no problem who they lay off and can live on unemployment it could be right fit for some.
 
tks to bufbill

Some of the responses of this thread are exactly why I don't post much here. Somebody could say the sun rises in the east and sets in the west and it would still get someone's shorts in a bunch. Plus blame it all on politics.

I know-- I've always got the same problem.

Without reading all the responses, I can answer it with one word. Contract. Our Central States Contract says lay-offs start at the bottom. I don't know about yours. Want it different-- get the contract changed.
