You know, Circuit City was blatant recently in deciding to fire overpaid lower staff so they could hire in lower paid staff. I would not do business with that company as a resolution to my feeling on their doing that. And we are probably seeing the end of that company coming up.

And if you are employed by a company that treats their employees that poorly, you don’t have to keep working for them. Find another job. I worked for a company like that 7 years ago, I moved on and now work for a company that I couldn’t be happier with unless I was employing myself.

No one holds anyone back in this country but themself. I listened to Rush tell a nice young woman the same thing yesterday. She was complaining about being young, and having to make tough decisions and having commitments. And essentially the resolution is that we keep ourselves locked in by our own defined boundaries and fears.

The same thing is happening with the illegals crossing our borders. They are conditioned to believe that they can never change their country, and the US “wants” them, so they come.

And in regards to your state pension, did you pay into that, or am I footing the bill for that through my tax dollars? At least my 401k that I will retire on is funded through private investment and myself and I will not be a burden on my children or their children through tax dollars.

My company is small....and they are pretty good...so far. My last company was HORRIBLE and I finally got out. Jobs are tough in IT when the outsourcing is so prevalant. You like outsourcing? In my last job, 75% of the programmers and testers were 'in' India. We had some FRom India too...but mostly IN INDIA. We emailed alot.
I was lucky enough to be in the (pension) tier where I paid NOTHING into the system. So ...thank you. In about 5 years, I'm going to start collecting.

the stock price went up and I suspect the company is giving the public what it wants and that is low low prices and if that means cutting customer service, so be it.

It is not the company, it is the public. The company must serve the public or else it is out of business.

CNBC had a long segment about this where people were asked if you would pay a little more for better service at it was overwhelming that the answer was no.
