I've been there, lay off a an employee with a little bit seniority and send his replacement with 5 years to the factory in York, $$ are saved in annual wages. Years ago loyalty was a strong suit towards your employer. Today all loyalty, especially employer to employee is just about gone. It's about the $$$$.
