All you confident hourly workers who really believe your jobs are safe with the condition this company is in are in total denial. They will continue to use you to push their damn product all while staying calm and focused; but trust me you will be getting the layoff in 2018. There is just no way around it at this point. If you are smart do what the management team is doing and look for work at a company that isnt in huge financial trouble. No need to be bitter about it but this company is just not what it used to be and probualy never will be, at least not in the near future. And this my friend is NOT fake news.

@jup If overtime elimination is a sign of things to come then layoffs are inevitable at Greenville. There is only one area even sniffing OT, the rest are barely running 40 hours a week.
A precursor to hourly layoffs is overtime and double time being eliminated. None have been yet.
Not really a down turn in business so much it is at cutting indirect costs.
Net profit was the gorilla in the room down over 50 pct
@jrj I don't know if layoffs are coming or not for hourly but in past down turns salaried is often times affected first, then hourly months later.
Nobody knows one way or another. We do know layoffs are concentrated in the salaried area,. But who is overconfident in ge nowadays
Keep trying to predict the layoff timing. Even a blind squirrel will find a nut occasionally.
