The day she was let go, Elliott (85 years old) said she asked new call center director Steve Houghton, “Do you mean to tell me, after 26 years, you don’t have anything for me?”
He shook his head, Elliott said, and said, “No.”
She was quickly ushered out a side door and not allowed to pick up personal belongings or say goodbye to co-workers.
Houghton started working for Nielsen on Feb. 4, according to the company. The firings started soon after.
Rose Schulz, 79, of Clearwater said after 16 years, it took about two minutes to be fired and ushered out the door.
“I’ll need to work, will you give me a reference?” she said she asked Houghton.
“Number of years worked and your position,” she remembers him saying. “That’s standard.”
From this article. Imagine some point in the future when people treat each other right. I really hope we get there. But I have my doubts.
