Default Re: Watching sheep to the slaughter

Brian, what you're talking about doing is like what the dudes in Bangalore are doing to our computer programmers. They're being used as the tools of the guys who make 400 times what their average workers use.

When the people working for XYZ airlines say, you know, I'm not making a living wage, you need to pay me more, the CEO just turns around and says, well, I've got a guy who's willing to do this for $8 an hour. Take my crappy pay or I'll give him the job.

Do you want to be that tool? Do you want to be that man who has so little pride that he'll shaft someone for less money than he could make working in a retail store?

If you do want to be that person, I suggest that you work on your self esteem, because it's lacking big time.
