[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1027362, member: 14668"] In 1999, when we went public and the stock split, there were several management people in my building who became millionares overnight. If my memory is correct, I think I got a $.65 per hour raise that year. I didnt begrudge them their millions; like me, they had made a career choice and like me they soon learned that the choice carried with it both benefits [I]and[/I] consequences. Speaking for me personally, I dont "despise" management; I merely recognize the fact that we are and always will be a [I]labor-intensive service industry [/I]and anybody who is busting their ass on a belt or in a package car or feeder truck is to some degree carrying the dead weight of those who arent. The customers arent paying for reports or spread sheets or conference calls, they are paying to have their packages delivered. [/QUOTE]
