It appears they target over 50 folks when they can
Yes. Everyone let go in our area over 55 except one guy in BMO thats almost 60 and they can't get rid of him because he has been here forever and understands all our systems and can help the newer guys. However we have not had any techs laud off they... — read more

There is life after CTL
