But there is definitly something wrong with coporate stockholder mentality, when companies reward failure CEO's like CEO Carly Fiorina of HP, with a 21 million severance package, while the company is losing money and outsourcing jobs like crazy to India.
And software and computer companies aren't alone in this stupidity. Sorry to sound negative, but the attitudes of many politicians and corporate heads toward the middle class, and blue collar workers just isn't right. They treat them like crap. Why, I haven't a clue. But they do. http://money.cnn.com/2005/02/09/technology/hp_fiorina/
Oh, it's true that the middle class is shrinking, but that's because more and more Americans are now rich!
And that's a good thing.
