Global Warming is very real. While I will agree, every one in Government should be willing to make an effort to help out in this economic crisis, I don't think it should be the little man. If any one needs to take a pay cut it should be our Governors, House Representatives, Senators, Congressmen & women, Mayors, Ceo's especially those who are collecting $1000. and up in bonus checks and I'm talking multi million dollar bonus's. I worked for a company who did give a bonus check to its low end employee's. Even though we busted our hump to produce and keep up with their customers, to make those sales quota's, it was our managers who got those $3000. to $10,000. bonus checks. Fair I don't think so. I'm the one staying late, missing dinner with my family, so he or she can go home early. I'm the one who has to take the berating from the customer if the order is wrong or if the manager and his favorite employee don't come when paged and I have to perform the job that I'm not rated to perform, but because I've been with the company for so many years and have seen the job performed so many times, I can do it. And instead of a simple thank you from the boss, I get chewed out. So why can't we just work together and those who are only getting richer off the tax payer, learn to give back ten percent now. And start looking at supply waste and cut 10% there and cut 10% every where in the budget first. Then if we still need cutbacks, start looking at what programs, especially pet programs that can be cut from the budget. But not cut programs that are going to hurt the earth. PSSss..I never recieved over $300. bonus check and when I was diagnosed as terminally ill the company cut my Christmas bonus and the only reason I had two bonus checks, which I knew wasn't allowed is because my boss refused to give me my vacation. He said he would take care of it. So after having emergency brain surgery. Not only did they take half of my Christmas bonus they failed to file for my disability pay. nice Huh! 11years of loyalty and now they won't even cash a insurance check for me. Even worked when I could talk. No visit at the hospital from my boss, but he had no problem asking me to wrap his gifts for his family, not even a phone call. So suck it up and let's start working togethert.
