It's not my boss doing the deducting it's the people in payroll. I work through a lot of my lunchtimes and I get no dinner until I get home. Call it stealing, I call it being cheap. :P Those 2 hours would = $90 on double time. So ya they will take shortcuts in pay if they can find it. :/
I was referring to animaniax(sp?).
It's not one system, it's in every system.
That's not objectively true. Case in point my company. The CEO already has enough money to retire. Has a huge house, drives a lambo, but he loves buiilding businesses. He also makes it his goal in the businesses he creates to share the wealth with all his employees.Originally Posted by Shadow Skill
Now where you're most likely to see budget cuts are in either cut-throat startups running on fumes or publicly traded companies that have to constantly worry about appeasing the board. I've worked in both situations, and both are annoying.

It is difficult to say and I made a brash statement based on previous and current employers and not the entire economic structure as a whole, as I have no worked in every sector of the economy.
My personal view is that a lot of any cuts anywhere has to do with greed and very few companies are about the employees and are all for the so-called "Almighty Dollar".
I look at the movie and music industry. They don't pay the actors a heck of a lot in some movies, especially if the movie makes $300,000,000 or an Albums sells 10 Million copies and they have $250,000,000 off one album. How much of that really goes back in to the movie or music industry?
The recording companies make that, not the actual performers. With them going after people around the world who view something that should not be, either a leaked preview that's 5 or 10 minutes long or a leaked song 2 weeks before the album release. My opinion is, someone may download it and listen to it, in the end, I can gaurentee if the person likes the song or the preview, They buy the movie on Blu-Ray or DVD or the entire album on release day.
I am not standing up for piracy. I do believe certain aspects of it, help drive the economy of certains areas. I can't fathom why the MPAA or RIAA refuse to accept that they are at fault for not making that extra 10 Million dollars.
They make Billions a year and if they don't reach their projected goal of 12 Billion dollars, they call it a loss. So they make 9 Billion dollars, but they projected 12 Billion. They will post a 3 Billion dollar loss and blame it on someone, rather than take responsibility for releasing craptastic movies or very very shitty (C)rap/pop music.
To me, that is greed in its finest form. Arrest people, charge them, sue them and tell the world, those people are at fault for them not making 3 Billion more than they should have. Yet all the heads of those companies are rich beyond any person wildest dreams. 9 Billion dollars? I wish I had a company that could make that.
The way I see it, they made 9 Billion dollars. A company should only claim what they had made, rather than claim a loss on projected figures. Those are non-existent numbers that did not exist and never will exist. Those numbers only exist in a persons mind and not in reality. That is where the problems stems from. You take projected figures and only focus on currect gains. A company will never have to post a loss. Especially a loss that is fictional, a fictional loss that the US congress and government take as true facts. That is mind boggling. A company can post a loss and blame it on the moon rising 3 degrees lowers the day before instead of 2 degrees higher. The US government will accept that as a fact. That is a story no different than blaming piracy for so-called billions of dollars in a fictional loss. They still made 9 Billion dollars. Where is the loss in that? It does not exist.
Ok, end rant lol.
