who has said conservatives shouldn’t support Trump?

How about telling us who to vote for? Maybe no one else, just stay home?

Off your meds again?

It’s an ELECTION YEAR...so who’s your candidate?

...or do you just want us to think Trump is a failure and that we should just stay home.

Interesting that you started posting (under your present name), JUST AFTER the 2016 election.

Well$ Fargo does a huge amount of mortgage loan processing work in India. Workers in India are are indexing and calculating mortgage loan applicants income from tax returns and W2’s that the applicants submit.
India is also now ordering the appraisals and ordering insurance binders.

Sometimes you choose the candidates that share some of your values rather than letting a candidate who despises everything you value. Trump was and is better than any others who want to be President at this time.

If they aren’t offering severance or anything in return, what keeps people there other than laziness or fear of the unknown? If they took my benefits, rebadged me and asked me to train my replacement I’d tell them to eff themselves. Where is the incentive to do anything else?

do you just want us to think Trump is a failure

Me, 5 days ago (https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3803199/posts?page=13#13):

“Unlike prior Republican presidents who nominated some judges that were judicial activists, President Trump has consistently nominated people who are committed to originalism. Judges who interpret the law according to the Constitution are critical for maintaining the rule of law and the proper balance of the three branches of government. President Trump is already creating a legacy that will last for decades.”

More winning!

When you've wiped that egg off your face: Have anything to say about the subject of the thread?

Re: token compensation -

Actually, the whole thing is kind of goofy. Thankfully my division was not directly involved, but a group we work closely with was. They sent letters to the “lucky” selected. Included in the letter was an insistence of non-disclosure of the terms. But the terms leaked anyways.

We used to have a rather generous severance package for RIFs. My understanding is the “bonus” for training your replacement was significantly less than the previous severance package. Like 5-10k verses a week or two per year of service.

Since these guys were generally over 60 and had 20+ years of service (some approaching 40 years), severance would have been many times that number.

One thing to mention - we as a company have been concerned about our aging staff. There clearly is a need to train a “rising generation” to replace these guys, who would be retiring naturally in the next 5-10 years anyways. But the way this is being done is rather tone-deaf.

Let them lay you off (RIF), take the unemployment benefits and retire afterward if you are able - force their hand. I’ve seen tons of people do it and I’ve only seen a few that asked to be included in a RIF be denied.

This is a thread about immigration policy, not choosing candidates ... whatever you've seen from a certain snowflake.

So you cover your Trump-bashing posts, that still doesn’t negate them.

A hankie would cover your tears, snowflake. I've never "bashed" Trump as a real man understands the term.

I think there’s an effort on the part of the NeverTrumpers to get Trump supporters disillusioned with him and not show up in November, rather than to outright tell us who’s better, since there isn’t anyone better (as shown here).

As we get closer to the election, we all need to call out these people, rather than let them and their tactics go unchallenged.

It’s Axios. Most of what they are reporting here is years old news

Microsoft did that to a friend of ours (and his co-workers) in about 2008

Never protect anyone’s job is my motto. As long as America has that principle we will thrive.

You sound like the people who were upset at farm machinery taking people’s jobs 100 years ago.

Many IT people work contract for good money; quit and go with one of the many agencies who do that. Often they may even work remote.
