Wow I think you are being a little too "Romantic Iceman, In todays economy I really believe all employees are disposable. Also, no amount of integrity is going to increase new truck sales or stop the closures of small to medium size companies that are providing the parts and service dollar to the very companies that are fueling the rumors we are talking about. Dont get me wrong, I get the service and support thing your leaning towards. I could'nt agree with you more. But you cant fault a manager or owner for hiring when times were good, and then expect them to make payroll even though the lost 50 to 60% of their overall revenue within the last 14 months.
