[quote="sotxbill"](quoted from post at 11:25:41 01/14/11) there are always two sides..
Universal truths.
Companies only exist to make money. No company exist to make jobs. They only hire employees to perform work needed to make money. They do not love employees, they do not marry employees, the do not sleep with employees. Employees are only there to do work so the company can make money. Companies dont have a contract to keep you employed. When the need for you is gone, so are you. They should/will not pay you for doing nothing, or when you dont show up. When business increases they need more employees. When business slows down, they need less employees. These are universal economic truths that any college ecomonic course will teach you. If you foolish think that the company loves you or owes you something other than your pay for your time worked, you are delusional. The ideal of cradle to the grave companies is an illusion due to the amercian properity that exists no where else in the world. You are not married to the companie and when you are no longer needed, you should expect to be released. You are an "at will employee" meaning that you have no long term contract with that company stating you will always have a job. Most people have incorrect assumptions of what a company "owes" them. If you got your pay, you company "owes" you nothing.
Benifits are only added to attract better employees. They cost the company huges amounts of money. Benifits can be increased at any time and benifits can decrease at any time. Benifits are only offered if the company can afford them and needs/must offer them to obtain good employees. If benifits costs go crazy, your company will no longer be able to afford them or offer them. If your shocked that your benifits are decreasing, you have not been paying attention to the costs and have been mis-using your benifits. There are no free rides forever.
Companies have no morals, good or bad. Its the people working for them that make them good or bad. Companies have no feelings and only exist to make a profit or go out of business. Do not foolishly think otherwise.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
