UCGal: Beating the dead horse–I’ll bet the C-suite execs are all funded and probably even get other perks that middle line workers have no access to.
It’s all really just a continuation of the middle-class squeeze. I would accept the “economy did it” defense, and that there is a new ecomonic reality, but for the fact that there seems to be no willingness for the people running the ship to share in the misfortune that they were in the best position to avoid!
