I guess the reward is to affect yours and others in the most positive way. I can tell you the hardest thing in the world is to lay a good person off who has invested in you and given you his best and by no fault of theres or yours you have to do that to them.
God bless America and believe it will work, the American people have a great resilence to come together, lets just hope we learn a little better from history this time.
Layoff 50% of my employee in my clothing fabric factory (China). Restaurant earning alot less of profit. I just starting to prepared for the worst. Hope the economy will recover soon.
My update - could not get new working cap due to Central Bank still being closed and lawsuit against deadbeat client will take too long - so, factory is for sale - I laid off about 3,000 workers and am running skeleton crew and very low production just to keep the plant maintained. Selling for about half of what I have in it, and no takers yet. A total waste, but I have accepted my very early retirement once the plant sells.
Wow, that sounds pretty bleak, so here's some good news - I have been trading Forex in my spare time and kicking some *** - wrote a program for myself and will probably "retire" into this once the plant sells.

Seems like every corner of the globe is affected. Down in SA my hotel and conference business is down by 30% this year. We have decided to take the knock as owners and not lay off anyone.
