Usually the "reason" for this "resource action" is "redundancy".

In some cases the severance package is like lottery winnings.

I've always joked that just to show how ludicrous some of this is, if I ever win the lottery I wasn't going to quit, I was just going to come to work with a completely different attitude and see how long it took them to fire me. It would be worth it for the entertainment value alone.

Hmm... maybe that's the basis for a new reality show, instead of Undercover Boss, maybe Undercover Ineptness.

Haha either way, I can't fire any of em. Don't have any power to do so.

I thought this is just for the road test.

Yeah up here it will get you demerits on your road tests. Gotta sit in gear with clutch in at stop lights... found that out during the test but passed anyways

If I'm sitting at a light for more than 5 seconds I am always in neutral with clutch out. As far as I know there isn't a law regarding this here

Back to my loaner F150....

Sitting at a light last night I was scrolling through the "drive mode" on the stalk expecting to see basically Tow and Regular. Well there was Tow, but there was also Econ, and Sport....huh?

Tried it, it kept the AutoStart from engaging and did have a little bit better low end response (I think).

What I really expected though was for a fully loaded gun rack to appear in the back window and a six pack of beer in the console. It was disappointing....

No one wants the factory gun rack! They're worse than factory radios... but for a crowd with stronger opinions on what you should do with crap they think sucks...

Does it come with a CB Radio?

No, but fortunately I have a portable one purchased in the early 80's I can still use whenever in a pickup.

Finally Friday. Tough first full week after the holidays. I have a ton of work to do at the house this weekend. Ugh.

True, but instead of "get a job"; he built jobs.

Yea, he loves mowing that huge lawn!

While doing some morning local news read on news site, read a news about some idiot teenager did bird box challenge while driving ramming into on coming traffic. Um... I thought Tide pod challenge was bad, I was wrong.
