I stand corrected....
I was on a mild rant...mainly because this company gave me everything at first, and within a few short months of Maytag taking over everything in North Canton in August of 2002, shoved myself and hundreds if not more of others into the street with nothing. In my case I was out on my a** 6 days after Christmas 2003. A fine howdoya'do in my book.
I am only implicating that IMHO Many cases have proven that major corporations are slicing workforces here and sending them N/S/E/W of all of our borders, and they ARE somehow doing it for less even tho you have pointed out that Canada is this exception to the rule, and will be so noted in my book from here on out.
In any case all of this has far reaching and long lasting consequences..some day, and not that long into a very abysmal future...we will find ourselves no longer being in control of our own destiny's her in the USA. Maybe Im wrong to assume this, but until our contry becomes more concerned with US rather than people elsewhere i.e China, Hong Kong Mexeeho and others..we loose here. It's proven itself over and over and over again...for decades.
I do not wish to start anything on here, honestly it's just something that hasn't been passed up by the rest of the nation as being a major problem..outsourcing of jobs. Im just stating an opinion of mine, and venting major frusteration over the shortcomings of this company...and the fact that time and time again they promised a better day for us the workers... and then later gave nothing of what they promised.
I feel major anger due the fact that I lost what I consider a lifetime of opportunity when Maytag decided FOR Hoover, to deactivate many of it's sales outlets across the US. I felt that I had a future with the company, a place that I could prosper at and retire from. Unfortunatly this never occured, and it damaged my passion that I had for these "vacuum cleaners" that I have loved from inception.
Im coming out of it...but anything that I see about this company crying like It spilled it's saucer of milk and needs more form the store and can't pay for it...puts me into that same feeling I felt the last day I locked the doors to something I loved more than my cousins, car, house or my dog....something that I put every ounce of my being into..A Hoover Service Center that made me whole...
So therfore If I erupt into a five page documentary on what I feel is wrong...and I tend to point fingers when I do...please understand that, my reaction is not unnatural..ask anyone who has been reduced to working in a grocery store, and doing odd jobs to make ends meet...and you wont hear too much different from what I said....ask anyone from GM, Ford , Chrysler..and applaince company who has outsourced, electrical trades, phone trades, furniture trades..all dissappearing beyond our reach AND borders...just not Canada...
