so when the mags for north america + carribbean were to be printed in canada, canada bethel (aka georgetown) sent out notices to all disctrict conventions in 2008 that they need lots of help. i think the bethel family increased to over 400 with at least 50 new guys just for shipping.
however, now that the mags are only 16 pages, lots of those new guys are being layed off. the double shift (6-2,2-11) is now being combined into one shift (8-4/5 i guess). i would assume some office staff would also be let go, dunno for sure though. just thought id let you all know. heard this through grapevine, but makes sense.
