We are on that list......
We have a bunch of empty cubes here due to reservists being called up. They are getting the difference in pay, plus beneifts, stock options, etc.... They even leave the contents of the cubes intact with the phones, computers, and personal effects. I will willingly work extra hours so they can keep their benefits and pay differential.

I was just there returning a irrigation pump and noticed they have really revamed their hardware section. They had the most kick ass aluminum floor jack I have seen, I will start shopping there again

I'm very glad to hear that the management of some of our largest companies is not completely "offshore" -- or completely in outer space.
If we do not treat our active AND reserve personnel decently, then guess what, they will no longer volunteer to serve and we'll be up a creek! |
