[ale] Defeated by the offshoring of America....

[Robert L. Harris]

If you get a manager making very high in the 6/7 figures and 7 figure
bonus's who won't do a "just pay me $1.00 to save the jobs of the hard
workers this year" I'd question how much the high paid execs care about
the long term health of the company.


Thus spake George Carless (kafka at antichri.st):
