Last night at class I was talking to a politically-minded candidate about the various possibilities for the GOP nomination. He is still holding out hope for Huckabee. One thing he said in reference to Huckabee was his stance on corporate greed. Huckabee has a problem with an airline that forces its workers to take a 40% pay cut to remain solvent, but gives its CEO a big bonus. It's hard to argue about that.
My company is pretty frugal. I have heard that our president only uses pens that he gets at hotels. He drives a fairly modest car and lives in a big, but not ostentatious house. We don't pay for employees' cell phones, even if they use them as a tool for doing business. However, we do pay for the voice plan on the Blackberry devices of our top executives. Here are the people who need the perk the least and yet they get it.
It really sends a message, I think.
