good for me what?

im trying to explain that banks operate on razor thin profit margins as is, they cant cut a sizable amount of their workforce and expect to remain competitive. we charge a hefty amount over our competitors, and i know it translates to only 7% profits, of which goes to our shareholders.

Won't have to move your job across the border because with less work comes less taxable income which means budget constraints...first places they make cuts are schools, roads, parks and rec.....it all comes around no matter how you try to argue it Will and it wil affect you in some way or another.

I think it gets to a point though where when you call a company and catch someone with a thick accent you call the people you do business with and tell them you refuse to. or you take that item back to the store.

i called netgear service, it was out of india. i dont think i want to deal with them anymore. its a fine reason not to deal with aol, and now its a great reason not to buy tyco.

more over its worthwhile to make that point clear to the business owners and stock holders by whatever means necessary.

im not trying to argue it. i know exactly where you are coming from. ive been working in non-profits for the past 3 years...now there goes a job with no security. and it just so happened that a popular program at the school just had its last day due to a cut in funding. its a mean world. the poor gets poorer...yadayada.
