First, I'm not upset about the salary of a GM worker. I'm merely pointing out how your Communist unions extortions collapse companies, and then you little bitches cry like bitches that you don't have a job any more. A CEO didn't use union extortion to get his salary. He was offered it at the time of employment by the board. Oops - looks like someone just exposed their own hateful ignorance again.
NO, a fat rich guy was offered a lot of money by other fat rich white guys... hardly a meritocracy. Again, as I've pointed out, nothing that would ever happen in a European or Japanese company, where unions get a say in CEO's, and the average CEO compensation is only 10 times that of a line worker.
More to the point, it wasn't the unions that insisted on continuing to make gas guzzlers when the market demanded fuel efficient cars. It wasn't the unions that made decisions that paying out lawsuits was easier than recalling defective designs. That was all CEO's, and it got to the point where people started assuming Japanese meant quality.
Second, as far as "what's wrong with having a job for life, that was the norm in my dad's generation" - well thank you for showing everyone what a lazy, idiot liberal you are. In your dad's generation, it was also the "norm" to beat your wife. In his dad's generation, it was the norm to not let women work. God forbid we actually continue to evolve and get better. The business models used by your dad's generation are absolute. People have learned from the mistakes of that business model.
How has this gotten better, though? People having to work three jobs to keep a roof over their heads? So a few rich assholes can have car elevators? Somehow that isn't an improvement. Conservatives talk all about "family values", but when it comes to actually paying people decently so mothers can stay at home if they want to (I mean other than Stepford Ann Romney, of course) they are aghast.
Or that they just found it cheaper to let go long term employees because younger people will work cheaper... and that's the problem.
Um, nope. Sorry. If a pension was part of the package, they should make good on it.
Uh, no. College degree and I actually make money off my writing, thank you.
then rather than crying about it like a little *****, why don't you start your own company and do it better? Think of the top notch talent you could attract by promosing to keep employees permanently like was "the norm in daddy's generation". But of course, that takes work and effort. It's easier to sit on a message board all day crying like a little ***** and blaming others who actually took the risk, have the tremendous pressure of running a company, and have to make tough decisions because of the idiot liberal policies that are out to hinder their efforts.
Yawn.. tiresome. Look, you can kiss their asses and sit on your knees all day waiting for them to throw you some scraps, but these people are never going to do the right thing unless the rest of us MAKE them do the right thing. In case you were asleep when the teachers were telling you why we had a labor movement to start with.
I get really tired of the worship the right has of the wealthy.. most of whom are dull and kind of useless. Tax the shit out of them and spend the money on worthy causes. We worked better as a country when the wealthy paid their fair share.
Once again, you just got destroyed. Go home now and cry to daddy about how his generation had it so much better...
Naw, my dad died at 56 becuase some shitball in a suit told him the Asbestos he was working with was totally safe and non-carcinogenic. That was back in 1981.
But your sychophancy isn't destroying anything, except maybe the country and definitely the GOP, which is quickly becoming an asterisk in history.
