Hope your daughter had fun on her birthday. Again, prayers for Harley. Here's news that strikes terror in the hearts of man of those who work for Kraft Foods. Corporate greed at its best!

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Bonuses totaling more than $10 million were paid out to five Kraft Foods Inc. executives at the end of 2003, even as the giant food maker made plans to lay off thousands of workers.

I work over at Kraft Headquarters. Kraft is in definite disarry. With the recent layoffs people seem to be mostly walking zimbies. I don't think they have a clue on how to recover, their sales are down right now. Kraft hasn't had many new successful products lately.

That's why the CEO's see nothing wrong with Outsourcing, they get those huge bonus's...another thing that ticked me off is good old Viacom/CBS and how they pulled their channels from Dish network because Dish refuses to pass on the cost of their greed of 4 times the rate of inflation!

These channels and CBS stations, owned by Viacom, have proposed excessive rate increases which we feel are unreasonable. Viacom is demanding rate increases nearly 4 times the rate of inflation for various cable channels, amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in fees that would increase the cost of our services to you.
