Dichotomy...

So Coke apparently has some great new busienss plan that it's implementing effective Monday. And new business plan means firing people. Accordign to the Executrive Office Memorandum, 1000 people in the North American group (which includes my department) will be laid off today, including 500 from Coke's Atlanta offices. Am I worried? No. I don't get paid enough to be worth firing. You'd have to fire 3 co-ops to equal the savings from firing one middle-manager. And I'm pretty sure we're more useful. On the other hand, having the rest of the semester off would be pretty nice. Here's to unemployment benefits and severance packages... I'm keeping my fingers crossed I'll be one of the 1000.
