    You have to look at the whole compensation package…

    No, I don’t. I can’t feed my family with an EAP program or a 401(k) that will disappear with the next robber baron of Wall st, or a marginally better healthcare. The world still runs on dollars and cents and until we all get our fair share, we need to be coming for these corpo-clowns.

        Absolutely. Those traitors who think they can become owners by grinding hard enough make the world miserable for the rest of us. They don’t take PTO so they serve as personal scabs to us who actually enjoy getting away from the office.
