My pal Jerry
My pal Jerry Goldsmith got interviewed on CNN recently – he was applying for a dealer job in Golden, CO.
Jerry and I worked together at StorageTek, then got outsourced/hired by EDS, then laid off.
This is the face of America – smart, honest, hard-working people who have given their lives to businesses and then got thrown aside when the corpocrats saw a chance to make a quick buck with overseas outsourcing. Companies like EDS aided and abetted it.
Lucky for Jerry he’s smart and has a lot of drive, he’ll find work and ultimately come out on top. I just wonder how many of my coworkers at StorageTek are still out of work.
I didn’t take the dealers job just because I couldn’t deal and shuffle cards all that well. Did start my own company http://www.helpinghandhomerepairs.com and an Energy Consultant for http://www.NewAgePowerBrokers.com/save
I’m still out ponding the pavement trying to find job with IT and/or web support.
