Opps, looks like you got a very expensive benefit. Didn't you feel overpaid? Why didn't you give up your job for the benefit the one world economy you love? You know, give back what you've taken out. Or is that just for people like me who are so lazy we paid our own way through college only to see our jobs eliminated in the name of quarterly earnings bonuses?
I mean, that executive who pulled the trigger on your job? Is he going to turn around and say, "what the heck, mike, you can stay--the Schumer-Graham bill passed."
Yes, I did get a very expensive benefit. My education also benefited the company. As I gained education, my employer promoted me to fill openings. But, because he was paying my schooling, I was making considerably less money than the other guys who already had the degree. It was the price I paid for my education benefit. And no, I did not bitch or complain about my lower wages. So, my employer got back what he put into me, and more. If your job got eliminated for quarterly profits, perhaps you should evaluate your performance. An employer who is interested in making money usually lets the poorer employees go first, ya know, the ones that cost more than they produce.....also, they will eliminate the ones with bad attitudes...
