You$$re the plant manager in one of ABC Company$$s five

plants. You$$ve worked for the company for $15$ years,

working your way up from the factory floor after the company

sent you to college. Your boss just told you in complete

confidence that the company will have to lay off $200$ workers.

Luckily, your job won$$t be affected. But a rumor is circulating

in the plant, and one of your workers $($an old friend who now

works for you$)$ asks the question. $$Well$,$ what$$s the word? Is

the plant closing? Am I going to lose my job? The closing

on our new house is scheduled for next week. I need to

know.$$
