WHY? It's their business, THEIR MONEY. Don't like the job or compensation? FIND ANOTHER JOB. Simple.Same thing to me. CEO's take from their workers their labor and don't give them sufficient pay in return.
Then find another job. They own the company. They can do whatever they want with it----its theirs.
If they make stupid decisions they will be out of business.
I can tell from just these few lines that you were maybe mid-management in a small to medium sized company. Please take your phony bullshit elsewhere.
