Hmm, wish our bosses would do that here.  They suck!   David L. Ben Franklin:  “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom.

"They called us all together and said we would each get $1,000," Lawrence Wyman said. "Everyone started clapping and then they said it would be $1,000 for each year worked." That's when the tears began flowing. At a time when manufacturing jobs are being lost to automation or sent overseas, SAS Shoemakers gave a bonus to its workers totaling an estimated $200,000, Britain's Sky News reported. Plant workers, Lawrence, and his wife, Charline, each received checks for $19,000 for working at the plant 19 years.   Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org
