This is not good news!

I just got a call from GAC (Minnesota office) for a closing and was told that although the confirmation said Pittsburgh that it was being handled through the Minnesota office. I asked her if the Pitt. office was closing and she said at the end of the month. Did anyone hear that?

I spoke to supervisor in RI she said just the scheduling dept was moving to Minn. And they brought in outside companies to find jobs for the schedulers loosing their jobs.

I hate hearing folks lose there job this time of year, always wonder why they could not wait a couple of weeks just to get past the holiday.

I know a person who works @ a rail yard and even he can tell by the lack of goods on the trains that things have slowed down. Plus his company laid off 100 folks last week (first time in 30 years)

Hey but the goverment says plenty of job growth out there..lol

I hate to keep screaming doom and gloom but when Express went out of business I realized anyone is subject to going under. Don't make this your only job.
