I'm having a bit of a struggle coming to terms with your statement above.
Isn't that exactly what I've been saying right along? What I've
proposed
is folks coming to terms with their inflated incomes and settling for pay
in
keeping with its value. That, in turn, keeps them on the job, albeit at
a
lower income, because the savings to the corporation that may have been
realized by jumping to China, for example, no longer exists. We keep
jobs
home, inflation is not a problem (not out of control), and perhaps prices
at
the store even decline to some degree. Not many of us prefer no
money
as opposed to less money. I think rational people would accept a pay cut
instead of a pink slip.

Nice idea, but in this current culture..it will never work.

Not until the last job has been shipped to India, anyway! :-)

"How Dare you say that my contribution is worth less than that person
over there! I work 8 hours a day, very hard, filing these papers. She
only works 4-6 hours a day, and comes in when she wants to. Just because
she is an outside sales person, doenst mean that her contribution is any
more important than mine!! If these papers dont get filed in the correct
order, the business would simply fall apart.

If you think that you are going to harm my self esteem like that, its
workplace harrasment and Im going to consult a lawyer and sue your ass
off! Its not FAIR that she gets paid more than I do!! Why should SHE
get a commission? Its not FAIR!!! "
