[QUOTE="PobreCarlos, post: 1024437, member: 16651"] [b]Re: Comparison: Last, Best & Final to Pre-strike proposals[/b] soberups; What I find significant doesn't concern the alleged "business decisions" the company made, but rather what PERSONAL decisions YOU apparently made in continuing to work for a company that you made the following statement concerning YOUR life about; to wit "....[your] life was not worth the $50 it would have cost to equip its older package cars with a 3 point seat belt. I work for a company that made a business decision that my [I]health and safety[/I] was not worth the $350 it would have cost to equip the older package cars with power steering." Now it would seem to me that YOU ought to be more responsible for YOUR personal well-being than any outside entity, and that if YOU aren't all that concerned about it (at least not concerned enough to avoid those dangers and find work elsewhere), then you're NOT really in a position to complain about it. After all, should your employer care care more about YOU than YOU care about YOURSELF? I just don't see it. It would seem to me that living as an adult means that one accepts responsibility for one's self, and not be constantly demanding that others accept responsibility for him. [/QUOTE]
