Sorry to hear that Willie! My company is also looking at downsizing and we were told that we are still here because we made money! But now we need to make even more or else...

I feel for ya, Willie. I went through the same thing; had to retire (at age 58) or move to some other area where GM had a factory with openings for area hires from within the corporation. Fortunately I had enough seniority to take a regular (full benefits) retirement, plus there was an "incentive"...$$$$... to slide on out. Hope you are able to have the opportunity to work until you're ready to retire on your terms.

Lock Tite!

I'd either pull it and leave it out, or add silicone to help hold it, or like others have said use a screw.

I'm sorry to hear that. I went through a similar thing in 2008, after which we were acquired by a large national company and we thought thank goodness now we're financially safe. But after about 18 months later in early 2010 they began to send in their own people from other plants and offices and most of us were let go.

I was lucky enough to use my severance period as a long vacation and went right back to work for one of their competitors however I did have to move out of state due to the severance agreement. Never, ever wanted to move but it's been great for our immediate family and I make more now than I did then so for now we couldn't be happier.

Moral is keep your chin up.

I just honestly don't know how this one parking lot can be so consistent with terrible parking.

Not all females can't drive......or park! We have retail space, a nail place, a sub shop, and a bagel place on the lower level, so there are people in and out all day. Last week I watched some old lady sideswipe the car next to her while trying to park
