The misery of job loss in Texas continues in the Age of Obama. Another 800 Texans (and their families) in Smith, Dallas, Collin and El Paso counties are affected by the most recent mass layoff notices posted on the WARN section of the Texas Workforce Commission.
Employees at Werner Company, Wingspan Portfolio Advisors, RockTenn-Tyler will lose their jobs over the Christmas/ New Year’s holiday.
- Werner Co. will lay off 62 employees at a Socorro, TX warehouse location (gee, sounds like jobs held by the evil 1{997ab4c1e65fa660c64e6dfea23d436a73c89d6254ad3ae72f887cf583448986}, huh?)
- 453 people at Wingspan Portfolio Advisors will lose their jobs; according to Wingspan’s website, they were known “for converting defaulted loans into re-performing loans, saving borrowers and lenders alike from the lengthy and painful process of foreclosure”
- 53 employees at RockTenn’s Tyler, Texas container plant will lose their jobs AND
- 238 people at the Irving, Texas location of Research in Motion Corporation(RIM) lost their jobs on November 7th.
BUT WAIT! There’s more!
On November 14th, the Kansas City Business Journal reported Hostess Brands may liquidate the entire company. Of course, the Houston Chronicle couldn’t be bothered with updating their November 12th story on Hostess. Why? Because if you do a Yahoo! search on Wonder Bread and Hostess, you’ll learn there are Wonder Bread and Hostess Bakery outlets in the Greater Houston-Harris County area.
This is the misery City of Houston and Harris County Democrat malcontents supported imposing on their fellow Texans. Big Jolly will continue to monitor the growing list of Texans losing their jobs in the Age of Obama.

“We deeply regret the necessity of today’s decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike,” said Gregory F. Rayburn, chief executive officer. “Hostess Brands will move promptly to lay off most of its 18,500-member workforce and focus on selling its assets to the highest bidders.”

I don't know about the other places, but Wingspan Portfolio Advisors had terrible management and even now they are embroiled in racial discrimination lawsuits. The company's management railroaded a lot of people and treated people awful. Managers Melanie Pellegrino and Justin Belter, Kevin Conn also had a hand in having people lie and commit unethical acts. Bank of America customers lost their homes as a result.

What's happening now is not the President's fault. Many of these company's were going to go under anyway and only waited to lay people off to try and show up the President. The market is dynamic. It is changing. Everyone won't succeed. Every failure should not be attributed to the President.
President Obama has been a great President. Hawkish on Foreign Policy. He has cared about the poor. Unlike the Republicans. America has the highest wealth desparity out of pretty much anywhere in the world. The system has been RIGGED in favor of the rich. Even now the Republicans are trying to roll back minimum wage laws on the poor. I guess the rich don't even want to pay people $7 Bucks an hour. $7 bucks an hour is too much to these greedy billionaires.

Check with the EEOC regarding Wingspan Portfolio Advisors.. They have numerous complaints filed against the company by black, muslim and hispanic employees. The manager Justin Belter called a black employee the “N” word forcing the guy to quit and manager Melanie Pellegrino referred to blacks as “roaches”. Blacks were underpaid and mistreated.
This company simply can’t continue on with that type of management. Even the exec Edgar Delgado who came to Wingspan several months ago has jumped ship.

What is it with Texas Politics by the way? They seem to only elect raving loons. These people are straight out the old south filled with racial hatred and animosity towards the darker skinned people. Why? Texans had better change. White folks aren’t having babies like they should and are on the way out.
AMERICA IS BECOMING MORE MULTICULTURAL.

Dude, you’ll have to use a source other than “The Ripoff Report” for your research…
