Personally, I think the article makes a damn good point. Some of what it was about I see at my work.
You know what pisses me off?
Combine all of this together:
- I haven't seen a raise in 5 years.
- I haven't seen ANY bonus in the same amount of time.
- We get this new fat cat CEO in our company, who kills our 401K matching because "nobody else is doing 401K matching in this economy". Which is bullschit, espeically considering the company has been making it's sales figures.
- Instead we get these stock options with a wishy washy letter saying, "if , when, maybe, and someday". Did i mention this is a private corporation?
- Our expenses have been climbing, because of our new CEO's travel expenses from what i hear. Apparently this guy likes to fly around and meet with "investors" . Gee, i wonder where our bonuses are going.
- I'm not sure I want to know how much this guy's making, or what bonuses HE's making, AT OUR EXPENSE!
- This same fat cat, has positioned himself with his own private.... everything. Eviciting the current occupents of some office areas and turning it into his own private thrown room.
- Rumor's persist that my job will be OUTSOURCED by, at, or sometime around the end of the year. All im sure, in an effort to lower expenses, so the CEO can keep his current pay level.
Executives.. It's a dirty word. A word of a money grubbing scumbag that is lower in character then an ambulance chasing lawyer. They'd sell the entire country down the river and off to china if it meant lining their pockets.
So of other American's are encountering stuff like this? I think the article makes a VERY good point.
