Wasn't there once a time when employees were valued instead of being treated like disposable commodities? When employers knew that in order to stay in business they had to treat employees well, not only so they could actually get good work out of their employees, but so that they would have a market for their goods and services? This isn't the case anymore. And apparently, the solution put forward is not to reverse this trend and start treating employees well again, but to make sure that ALL employees are equally fungible and miserable. That's quite an interesting theory there. I hope that you are not an employer. === Nathan Hunstad Minneapolis, MN (651) 489-9107 -- Home PGP DH/DSS public key -- http://www.angelfire.com/mn/freakpower/nhpubkey.txt "This may be the year when we finally come face to face with ourselves; finally just lay back and say it -- that we are really just a nation of 220 million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns, and no qualms at all about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us feel uncomfortable." -- Hunter S.
