I don't understand what TIMCO's John Cawthron was hoping to achieve by airing his employee problems to the News & Record and ultimately to the people of Greensboro. If his employees are leaving for another company, then he should be asking himself, Why are they leaving?

People are always looking for the "better deal," and if his employees are leaving for Honda, then they probably found one. Last year I went through the testing and screening for the free A&P training being offered by GTCC and Honda. Unfortunately, I wasn't chosen, but during these several screenings the candidates were informed of what Honda offers and its hiring plans. One of the benefits I liked was that they are one of the few companies that still have pensions in addition to a 401(k). I would leave my current employer for that benefit alone.

According to TIMCO's Web site, it doesn't offer any different benefits from what my employer does. Mr. Cawthron, you and your management team need to take a good look at what TIMCO does and doesn't offer its employees so you can be comparable in your industry and just maybe the "better deal."
