Tennessee is another one that has had some really weird things going on.
Massive multi business headquarter campus in middle Tennessee, but I’ve seen several west Tennessee businesses just slow production.
Production corporates aren’t just using this as an excuse to pull workers, but they are also letting products run low to help the perceived demand.
Then, at least 1/3rd of the healthcare workers in the town were cut to 50% time, and it’s 100% gotta be a money grab. Patient levels haven’t staggered a bit.
I think they just wanted to test which work units were the most workforce intensive. None of the hero’s I know got any sort of physical congratulations. Some didn’t get an emotional one either, but instead “why are the charts/messages still piled up?”
I also know of several 45-50yr olds who got laid off for no reason—rite to work state—two lost any semblance of retirement opportunity because of it.
