Zoe ,'The Train Job'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm thinking about the people they support, the people they employ, the effect on the industries that rely on them.
While not a Corporate Fat Cat, I have decided it's my duty as a still-employed person to do all the normal things like buy clothes and get my nails done and occasional massages and stuff like that -- I still have the income I had last year, and am not likely to lose my job (knock wood), so why start hoarding away my money at the expense of the service workers?
I'm going to take that logic one step further and say that it is my patriotic duty as an American to replace my cheap piece-of-shit Cablevision DVR with a Series 3 Tivo.
Ah, crap. {{Miracleborns}}
Ah, fuck - I'm so sorry Aims & Joe.
Oh fuck.
Crap, Joe and Aimee. Good luck.
Also, if you've been making the kind of money where a cut to 500k is an outrage and you don't have enough together to weather the storm, well? My tiny violin is in the shop.
a thousand times this.
((((Joe and Aimee))))
Also on board with the "no sympathy for those who think $500,000 a year is outrageously small" wagon. If the company is in such bad shape that it has to lay off large numbers of lower-level employees, then the higher-ups that made the bad decisions to put the company in bad shape should also be cutting back.
Shit, that sucks Aimee
