protection. The good news is that 75% of the workers at TEVA Israel will not be laid off. Tithes and offerings means 10% to the house of worship, 10% to the poor, and 10% to the Feast Days and Appointed Times of haShem. That is 30% for haShem to rebuke haSatan. Who knows? If enough TEVA employees do that, perhaps haShem will rebuke the CEO of TEVA Israel and stop all the firings.

For this you need a foreign "genius" at exorbitant salary? Just asking....

It is unfortunate and the result of poor management who received very large compensation packages over the years for being in the right place at the right time..everyone is Israel wants to be in "management"...there is a reason as perception is you sit behind a desk, make a few decisions, go on retreats on the company tab etc and receive over market salary and benefits. The same everywhere and Israel is no different. To the employees...this is the downside of the regular paycheque and benefits you receive...I am self employed. No one guarantees me anything....that makes me efficient and productive. If there is not enough money in the bank at the end of the month to pay the bills, i am not paid. Employees need to understand the risks of their position and this is it.....you are not entitled to anything other than protection of state employment laws and severance...that is it. No whinging and complaining please. I suspect the culture at Teva was indeed one of entitlement and comfort from the top down and now the employees are paying for it. There was no complaining when the employees were treated to evenings at Caeseria etc. Free market society. If you cannot accept the risk make your own future. Sorry to be tough on you but that is the way it is.
