Very considerate.

Oh we earned it...they just cooked things...aka the revenue adjustments and all the sports sponsorships we seem to be 'dying' to particiapte in...

Why the hell give you the money when they can spend it on 'pet' projects?

Geesh!

That phrase vitocorleone99 said will stick with me for a long time ...

it's called bait & switch
take away a benny and then give it back later and the worker will think he got something

just think of the money they saved and the interest they made on that money while they have it
so now when they give it back to you , you in reality have paid for any additional tid bits they now give

and most employees will thank them for it
go figure!!!!

I feel like we just invested into a ponzi scheme that Bernie Madoff with a CNWY stockholder.

The older I get the more I realize that corporations are legalized crime. They pay off judges, politicians, and who knows who else. They lobby for there own wallets. Meanwhile I have to pay more taxes with less money. And the big XYZ Company pays less taxes and reaps the benefits from stealing from their employees. As I know some will debate with me that its not stealing, please don't argue with me. I have worked for companies bigger than CNWY and smaller. The moral of the story if you steal from them your going to loose your job, possibly go to jail. If XYZ takes from you its business. They shove all this propaganda telling us they need to do this to be competitive, however they must line the pockets of the stockholders and pay off the lobbyist to take all our rights away from us.

As far as the P&G thing. I know some of you think we are going to get some of the money back from that. But its like this: If I buy you 6 piece nuggets, and you happen to get 7 pieces.. Are you really going to give me the extra one back?

But if you think we have it that bad and we do, you should really talk to anyone else that is working any type of job.. Believe me its going on everywhere else.. And it will continue till we all stand up to these entities. Until then hand over the pay checks, because they will continue to take.

5% paycut - 2.5% giveback- increase insurance premium (insert amount) equals saveings for Conway and a lost for us .What bothers me is that mangement actually acts like they are giveing us something .It was ours to start with, they took it we had no say no vote no nothen.Now we got to earn what was ours back ,heck they should be paying us intrest on the money they took from us.
