Today, it nearly blew me away to realize companies with headquarters in allied countries are leaving completely from this country. Lock, stock, and barrel; gone.
A nephew of mine. Very talented man. Has a family as well as a large extended family was told the company was moving back to their headquarters. Just like that, out of the blue, this very talented man’s reality and hopes for advancement over time vanished.
He was offered a different position in the company, but, it would mean leaving his life here, uprooting his family, and living abroad. Not only that, but, because headquarters has very few openings and lots of competition the chances of moving up the ladder was over.
He respectfully declined the job offer and was provided a wonderful reference for at least ten years with the company. He arrived home to break the news to his spouse. There were some tears, but, as the evening progressed my nephew scrolled through names of friends and companies he had a relationship before and ran across a job he left behind a long time ago. First thing in the morning he contacted said company, asked if there were any openings, and sure enough he was rehired within the hour. He is going to be able to work from home because travel time one way is hours from his home.
There is some opportunity for advancement over time, so this job is basically an interim position until other possibilities are explored over the next year.
This is the reality today in the USA because of the losing Trump economy. Companies from allied countries are finding the USA dangerous for people with Visas or are naturalized citizens. These companies don’t want the trauma of dealing with a federal administration out of control and racist. People are afraid and quite frankly they should be. Never before in all my adult life has the expression, “Be afraid, be very afraid,” clearly defined the day.
Trump’s oath of office is to ensure domestic tranquility. He is violating his oath and stirring a pot boiling over in confusion.
Trump needs to be impeached. He is breaking the back of this country while being unable to lead so much as hate. Trump has mental health problems. He CANNOT be trusted with the Executive Branch of the United States of America.
I don’t lie. This is happening and no wonder Wall Street dropped 1000 points today.
