I hope you die Polaris
 
From Cyril's Blog

Quote:
Polaris Industries Inc. has informed state of Wisconsin officials that it will begin the layoff of nearly 500 employees from its plants in Osceola on March 1, 2011. Medina, Minn.-based Polaris announced last May that it was exiting the Polk County operations in Osceola under a realignment of manufacturing operations that includes establishing a plant in Mexico and upgrades at factories in Roseau, Minn., and Spirit Lake, Iowa.
I wish them terrible sales and craptastic new year. Taking manufacturing out of this country. F them!

even more corporate greed. Short term profit with long lasting detriment to our national GDP. Thanks Bildo!

Yea but there's also the unions and the American worker to blame for this...:idk: Corporate greed? You'd expect to turn a profit if you ran a business wouldn't you?:idk: These aren't charitable organizations you know, if it don't make dollars, it don't make sense.

But, but.......manufacturing workers ALWAYS made good money, so they have the "right" to KEEP doing so, and the "right" to never need to undergo a career change throughout their entire lives, unlike the rest of us.

Exactly, it really sucks because it's usually the little guy that gets crushed! BTW wishing them a terrible sales year isn't going to do any favors for the other 90% of their workforce.... just saying.:idk:

People at GM made $60k+ every year without ever graduating high school, with full benefits...until they closed the plant...

There is lots of blame to go around but this isn't the answer to the problem.
