Well, looks like at least part of the reason I left the old job have come true. The place I left is closing the plant here next September...the misgivings about the management plans for the facility have come true.
Hope I can provide a safe landing spot for a few of my old co-workers if we have the openings.
We are still trying to un-F*** the place, but I don't have any worries about my longterm future within the company and our location (other than looking for a new/better location for our plant due to a pending Casino build literally next door that is due to start in the next year or two)
