RE: Loyalty cuts

Ya, but those 'muckety-mucks' all belong to the "Good Old Boy Society"
within the company. They aren't going to let their buddies go. You will also
notice that if one of them makes a screw-up, which invariably costs the
company tons of money, they get promoted, with a pay raise and bonuses!

Something is terribly wrong with the picture, but that how it is at the top
of the ladder.

David Spreadbury observed:

"Most companies think only bottom line, and one of the fastest ways to
change the bottom line is through a reduction in force. Granted most don't
want to do this, but that is just how it is. They will try to retain those
brains that they feel should, or must, remain, but still, salary and
benefits is a large piece of a companies expense. Cutting expenses directly
affects the bottom line."

Uh, huh....ever notice how many of those "essential brains" are the
muckety-mucks at the top of the corporate food chain (who always get great
bonuses, even when they've cost the company billions in lost profits by
their screw-ups) and how few are the people who are actually doing the work
that earns money for the company?
