“Which is funny cuz that’s where the middle class works, and whose stock the middle class owns. The market will dictate. They’re not trying to kill the middle class. Just trying to keep costs down.”

They are trying to fudge next quarters numbers so they will get a bigger bonus. Eventually they will lay off enough people to kill the middle class. Most of the companies doing this are profitable to start with. They do it out of greed.

yeah, i agree they are under pressure to deliver quarterly numbers. labor is usually the biggest cost. from their standpoint, why wouldn't they? In fact, as long as the competition does it, they have to do it to survive. I dont see it as greedy to use cheaper labor if you can get it. and the GOP stands for the free market, right? So what are we gonna do? Become democrats? organize? for me, i got out of the corporate game. i used them before they could use me. now i work for myself in a field hindus simply can't handle.
