ok... Hypothetically speaking, lets talk when the next round of until layoffs occurs...
pick a number.... lets say 20000 people sacked... Ok... then we'll see if they offer a 'relief' package to their redundant employees and if they say 1 Million... lets see, how much does that work out to be per person... 1 million / 20000. Ah... that's 50 buck each, enough to catch a train home, buy dinner for the kids and start looking for a new job... All the while the most board members gets this amount per month plus stock options! Hey, I didn't have a problem with honest donations where people actually reach into their pockets, but we're talking about Ford here. A million bucks, give me a break! it's chump change. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raymond Camden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 5:00 AM Subject: RE: Auto Co.
