A good article by someone who's had his annual salary drop from
$43k/year
to $34k/year and Hostess wants him to go down to $25k/year:

So instead he gets 0 a year. Can you say "Pyrrhic Victory"?


The people who worked for Hostess, like drivers or bakers, should have
no problem finding another job. There is a huge demand for drivers
and, I assume, steady demand for bakers.

One would think so, but I do hear a lot of crying about not being able to
find work. I hear this mostly from college educated people who insist on
finding work in their educational degreed niche. I am 64, beat up, worn
out, barely functioning, and I bet $1,000 that if I went to the oilfield
areas in ND or surrounding states that I would be working in less than a
week. Lots of people want a job, but few are willing to work.


This is mostly true.

There is a guy who works for a company that exchanges used car
batteries. We used their services at some point. Hs job is to drive a
beat up flatbed pick-up truck, load used batteries and unload
refurbished batteries.

I chatted with him once and he told me that is formerly was a banker.
