Tommyboy, I hope all goes well for you. Its ashame its had to come to that. My husband has been laid off from 171st for 5 weeks now.
He found new employment in Texas working for a oil company. As for Steelcase, I've was reading they have recently sent numerous jobs to Mexico. You know as well as I Herman Miller is no different than any other company. Their good at telling employees one thing and doing the total opposite. That company is just as crooked as any other business out there.

Glad I got out when I did. Four years Jan 13 2010.

I got out of Steelcase in "01". Things sure have changed since then. I think I made the right move. Now anyone who works there doesn't get profit sharing, retirement, and when they do retire, no health insurance [if my memory is corect].

Herman Miller has been a train wreck since the idiots from meridian took over in 1995.

It's a shame altogether. Industry is hurting pretty bad from what I can see.
