TO THE PERSON WHO WAS LAID OFF:"DOOBIE HATERNOODLE" STOP HATING ON DUPONT! THINGS HAPPEN! SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE AT THE PLANT. SORRY FOR UR LUCK!
No, he's not salary. He makes $ by the hour! His money is well earned. Even if he was salary, what are u? Unemployed! That type of attitude will never get u anywhere in life, and it definitely wont get u a job at DUPONT! LOL!
DoobieKernoodle -- call Brickstreet and ask how many claims are filed a day due to accidents on the job?! How many accidents in jobs that have nothing to do with chemicals that leave many people on disability and what not! Accidents happen, every single day! Listen to what jealous says, they are more than likely right. & RoaneCo. my husband is a hourly employee of Dupont, and he too has "a job that pays that much" =)
