Another was an older man who they told they were considering getting rid of, despite that he had been there for over 20 years. Another fell and broke a hip. THEN Covid hit and they kept working. They were down to 5 full time for a college campus and essential. Overtime was everywhere, they promised reviews for job raises for those who stayed on, then this week, lo and behold, the day of the job reviews? Both supervisors called off.

The next time they were back, no mention of it.

The company won't tell them what the plan is for jobs. The crew is doing all the summer work they would normally do right now. Rumor is that they might be furloughed the end of this week. But the company still won't stay. Oh, except the company did say, they might make all of them work one day, and pay them for like a half week or something, but I don't buy that one at all. Either way, they are some pretty low life, shady dealers.

NKU?
