[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 3872294, member: 24302"] I think you're right. Need to go take a dump. Actually I looked into that business I mentioned. Forget the name now, but back when the young CEO raised everyone's pay to at least $70k a year, he took a pay cut from $1.1 million to $70k himself. Conservative pundits called it socialism and said it unraveled because some at company were disgruntled that they were all receiving same pay. Turns out company is thriving, and average pay there now is over $100k. Of course in fairness it's a small company in a lucrative business. Doesn't translate into every business. FedEx for instance can't just double everyone's pay like he did. The revenue just isn't there. But I'm all for companies being as generous as they realistically can be. Why not? [/QUOTE]
