Should the Unemployed really be unemployed?

As the economy does its thing to correct itself, we are all very much aware of the number of unemployed out there. Good folks who lost their jobs do to downsizing, bankruptcy, and other such actions that corporations are utilizing to try to stay afloat. But are these companies making good decisions?

Chrysler is one of the larger companies who have seen loads of media attention in regards to their restructure. From selling off assets, to attempting to negotiate new deals with creditors, to asking the government for help, this company has seemingly done it all to stay alive.

The link below, however, shows (in my opinion) how simply stupid some of these companies can be. Choices and decisions they are making are not making sense. This article posted by CNN puts some much needed attention on poor business practices. Since when do we end profitable business relationships? It is my opinion that Chrysler could have done more to keep this particular dealership, and seemingly many like it alive. Check out the article here: Chrysler's business decision is personal.

As we all get involved in our part to help the economy, pouring our hearts and minds into the work that we do, it is unfortunate to have to see things like this. Make me feel powerless. Yet day in and day out, it's still about the individual for me, what can I do to help one more family? How do I get much needed information out to those that truly need it? How do I overcome the vast amount of incorrect and poorly placed information out there? When will the tide turn? As we attempt to keep the foreclosure flood at bay, we have these types of things to look forward to.

Those of us who are working to help the individual, I beg you, do not lose sight of this. There are things out there that cannot be controlled, but by focusing on each family individually, reserving judgment till after the facts are delivered, and helping to resolve the big problems one step at a time, we will stay sane and do more good.

I invite each of you to comment on your thoughts in regards to this matter. Also, if you are feeling the stress of the world, comment on how you are finding solutions to deal with this. How do you advise your clients when it comes to dealing with the emotional toll of their situations?

Sincerely,

Walter Getz
