Wayne farms policies are out dated and some what prehistoric. I worked there twice in the 1990’s. Here it is 2019 over twenty years later and i was told I’m not eligible. HR management stated cooperate wouldn’t change their policies until theirs absolutely no-one left to work. Decatur Alabama plant needs help. I’m ready and willing, Mrs or Mr Maddox y’all have to do better
