>>>Chaz: your initial post, way back there somewhere, certainly implied that you were a disaffected, underpaid, underemployed, whining malcontent. If you aren't - then good for you. <<< No, absolutely wrong. You have a knee-jerk political outlook and you read what you wanted to read. I won't ask you to go to the trouble of rereading the post - that would be too much trouble. And would prove you wrong, of course. You might even consider that well-deserved, clear apology. >>> BTW, someone implied that at my previous company, we spent little on employee training. Very wrong. <<< So what was your per employee average cost of training? I know you know it - it was a line item on your books. >>>I honestly don't spend 2 minutes/month worrying about the $5.75/hour folks. You gotta compartmentalize somewhere. I've made my choice.<<< So what did you pay the janitor there? Did he/she have a pension and stock options? Kids? Time to go to school? Do you know? Do you eat lunch every day, knowing that the person waiting on you legally doesn't even have to be paid minimum wage, and not let that affect your tip? Just how far does this alienation from the people around you go? Do you care if an Hispanic PC board cleaner in San Jose breathes solvent all day that will jelly his or her brain in 10 years, for 7 bucks an hour? Or, maybe the ~5.75 people aren't important enough to become individuals in your sight? I keep trying to leave this discussion, but you people keep dragging me back in !! :0) I'm getting a flood of email! If I get a couple hundred more responses I'll do some cross-tabs for you. Either that, or run for office (again.) Cheers, Chaz
