up until today i was a current westgate resorts employee. the company gave me so much, but today after coming back from lunch i found that myself as well as many others no longer had jobs. within minutes years of hard work was terminated in moments notice. we packed our things, and left within minutes. its sad to see that all of our hard work, even some peoples years of hard work became nothing. wether you had been there for years or months, you now have to face the fact that monday, and tuesday, and wensday.... you have no job. now what are we suppost to do? now, right before the holidays of all times we are all in the dark on how our bills will be paid, or our children will be fed. i only hope that david, with his millions of dollars will at some point know what this feels like.

I'm not surprised. David Siegel has joined the same club as AIG, GM, Chrysler, and Ford executives. Given the man is cash-rich to the tune of billions and living a lavish lifestyle in the midst of building his own castle, all of which is sucking hundreds of millions out of Westgate business at the expense of the employees AND at the worst of times. It is just one more example of the extremely insensitive behavior of big corporate executives. It's Christmas, David! Do something great for those who have created your success! Give-up something for your fellow-man, save jobs, and create a reputation for yourself that will be admired by all.
I am an industry 'watch' blogger and NOT an employee of Westgate.
