for 8$ an hour you cannot get a wonderful, caring, dedicated, competent employee to stay. A wonderful, caring, dedicated and competent employee can find a job for more money.
Quite frankly I thought that the concept of something of real value (i.e. real security) costing more money was pretty logical. Which means that its quite expected that someone making 8$ an hour might not be as concientious as someone making 50$ an hour - however i dont' think that amount of pay-concientiousness is a cause-effect relationship at all. However, no matter who was watching the little tv screen at the airport on September 11th, it wouldn't have mattered. Those knives were PERMITTED on board airplanes at that time. > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Stewart [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, November 02, 2001 6:20 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: just when you think you've heard it all ... > > This is absolutely insane!
