Entitlements - what's so bad about them?

Right now, the limit is 6 million.

When the division I worked for in one company was sold to another company, the second company labeled us all 'managers' so we couldn't join the union.Mind you, my compensation is such that I don't mind, although I really did not like being trained to be a scab when the various union contracts were up (never had to actually BE a scab). But, I thought being labeled as a manager was a bit sly

One problem is that a lot of jobs in my industry are being put 'off shore'. I know one person who got laid off, and they hired two people to do his job in India. They could not handle the workload, so they hired 4 more! That's six people in India to handle 1 person in the u.s. job, and they can't even do it right.

Someone I know was laid off, and his job got moved to two people in India.They couldn't handle the workload, so they hired 4 more people to do the job.And they STILL suck at it, since they don't have the skills. In consequence, the system he was taking care of dies quite frequently, and there is a loss of production for several hundred people at least once a week, costing a lot more than paying this guy.

And, in my experience, the I/T from india tend to be poorly trained, bad communication skills, and for the most part, don't give a crap. The project managers , rather than manage a project, just call meetings, and expect everyone else to do their job. While there are exceptions, that is my general experience. It makes working with them very frustrating.Even 5 years ago, the project managers had to get through a certain level of certification. Now, they abandoned that to save money, and it costs them MORE money due to errors. The bean counters don't care though.

Of course he is privilaged to special treatment for breaking the law.He is not an illegal immigrant you see.

The rent is too damn high,
