I guess I'm a warped individual but this struck me as just too funny!

At least that company was nice enough to give jobs to the blind and handicapped.

So what are you to do - say nothing if there is a mistake in the packaging because it was done by someone blind or handicapped? I'm sure these folks are happy to have a job - especially now - but I bet they they don't enjoy being paraded as that company's wonderful hiring policy.

This reminds of these trendy moronic soccer moms who drive around with a window sticker of "Baby on Board." What a bunch of brain dead dullards - as if people are going to drive any differently upon seeing this silly sticker.

Sounds like the local sheltered workshop bid and got the job of packaging. Happens all the time around here. Good deal all round. Honest work for someone who might not have a job otherwise and reduced load on the govenment dole. Quality control is usually pretty tight. Sometimes a good match of people and work.

True...they go to special lengths to put the "right" people at the particular stations to do that type of work...

The thing you have to be on-guard for (or against) is the people running the company...

In our area, the "president" of one such company was pulling in $400K/year while the workers were getting something (now don't quote me here) near, or below minimum wage...I'll have to see if I can pull the facts on this...the local "fish-wrap" did a series of stories on the "president" and how she was able to "justify" the unusual discrepancy between what she got paid vs. the workers themselves...it definately sucked to be her.

However...(good part coming up...)

The company is still in business and things did get better for the kids...(they are like kids...their development is of that level) - the company has government contracts and such that there's usually some pretty good work for them to do...and the pay is much, much better too.

And as for the QC? The company runs a pretty tight ship on that...you have to with a government contract...or any contract for that matter...particularly these days!!!

I find it "interesting" that my posts "seem" to be getting shorter as the weekends get longer...

I'm wondering if this isn't some form of "censoring" that is acceptable to the majority on this website...or at least the "Obamanites" that have reign on all that type and pontificate here...

Would anyone care to, at least, send a PM to those that are "shortened" (as if I need to be made any shorter than the 5'5" that GOD has granted me the priviledge to possess?), explaining the reasoning for editing out major portions of postings so that the original post now represents some sort of incoherent "rant" or "blurb" that has nothing to do with what was said in the original context?
