According to an article from cjonline.com Topeka has cut the jobs of six employees while eliminating over 36 currently vacant jobs as well. While another article from cjonline.com states that a collection agency plans to build a call center in Lenexa that would offer 220 jobs. I found these two articles very ironic. Many companies have been experiencing the impact of the recession in their business, but others are thriving. The collection agencies have their hands full with people of go after for their clients, mainly banks. I would say that both of the leads were written effectively, they both got straight to the point without giving away all the information so that the reader would continue to read. On a personal side note, layoffs are very stressful on everyone; the employer, the employees and the employees family. My dad works for Sprint, so my family has been through the ringer every time layoffs come around. This last cycle of layoffs my dad was actually told he was going to be laid off and that in two weeks it would be last day. His last week working at Sprint his boss called him into his office. He informed my dad that he would not be leaving, that they had simply made a mistake by thinking they didn’t need him. That decision, probably effective my dad and my family more than originally being let go to begin with.
