CEO to Workers: I May Fire You if Obama Wins....

[Ronin13]

If it was that or lose his job, you're damn right he would. He has a lot more to lose than the guy who is already set for life.

Yeah, I'm crying a river right now for the COO who made $1.7M last year because he fired 10% of his workforce and sent their jobs to Bangalore. That poor guy has it so bad.

Have you ever made $1.7M? I'll be willing to bet if you were the COO, CEO, President, whatever, of any business, and you made a shitload of money, you wouldn't care about that 10% you fired to keep your income steady... Don't just look at things from the common guy's shoes, look at it from the other side of the table as well. Two sides to every story. You do realize the double edged sword we have here right? American labor costs exponentially more than shipping it overseas. It may not be right, but it's a viable option for some companies that want to see profits (which translates to more income)... Free enterprise. Another alternative, well, ask anyone over the age of 35 from Russia how that alternative worked out for them...

Morality does not hinge upon level of income.
