[QUOTE="webmogul, post: 1469055, member: 7408"] Amen... with the minor exception of "...or state more conductive..." part :) Either way, instead of complaining and making someone pay for what you don't like, leave. that is the beauty of this country, free will to work where you want; oh, except for those states that make it mandatory to join a union to have some particular job. There is nothing more messed up than that. Seniority? What a load. Seniority only means something is you really are more valuable to the company, in which case it is a mute point because they won't get rid of you anyway. Just because John Q. Public has worked for some place for 10 or 15 years or whatever doesn't make them any more valuable than they guy who has worked for 2. Time alone is not valuable. Teachers are a perfect example. A bad teacher protected for 15 years is still a bad teacher. I've seen many "senior" people who were stuck in doing things in a way that only hindered productivity or innovation. Or they had to protect their little kingdom and let everyone know they have been around a while and everyone was going to wait on them, just because they could. On the flip side I've seen other senior people who knew how to adapt, how to spot talent and knew how to move things along. Those people were the real super stars of the company, and were very well taken care of. It may not have always been in their paycheck, but their work life was far superior. In case no one has seen it, here is FDR's (no one would mistake him for a small government guy) words on public (not private) unions: [/QUOTE]
