Well, Kat, we love ya but, your bosses must be sadists. I mean, I spent 5
bucks at eckerds to buy some hose that didn't fit right, and had a run it
before 2 hours of wearing them. I don't remember them being this bad
before. It's too hot in Florida for nylons anyway.

OK guys it's simple - profits.
Our sales are down, inventories are up. How can we keep operating at excess
capacity if sales are down, inventories are not going down, and workers must
be paid?
Perhaps I should tell you I work in the hosiery textile business and times
are especially tough for the textile industry. Women are not buying hose
like they used to, and so business is down. I don't like it, but as a
person who works for private industry and has to ultimately answer to
shareholders, I can understand.
By cutting down now, we are avoiding bigger layoffs in the near future.
Also a division is moving to this area and so some of our laid-off employees
will be able to find jobs within the corporation.
