Where did that come from? At my machine shop(it's actually owned by my dad, brother and myself), we have not laid anyone off, and the wages we pay are top-notch in the industry. The healthcare plan we have is paid entirely by us, with nothing out of their pocket. Everybody in the shop gets a minimum of 2 weeks paid vacation. The reason I posted up is our shop is busy, but I'M not. I like giving back to good communities, hence why I said preference goes to folders. OCN is an awesome community and has definitely helped me out, so I wanted to help this community out in return. My income is also not important to me. I own my house outright, and most everything else is paid off. I was smart and saved the money I earned through college, and was very careful about my spending habits. Yes, the job market is slim, but the way we planned our work and purchases at the shop was done so in a way that we only bought machines if we could buy them outright, allowing us to keep our workers employed even if work slowed up. While respectable that you are looking out for other people, please, know the circumstances first instead of firing off a post telling me what to do.
