I appreciate you last post batman, I believe that we are all on the "same page" with this issue. If everyone did the right thing then companies would not have to resort to these measures.

I totally agree, If the customers are happy and productivity is high as well as profits, Then we can leave things alone.

We live in a time where the cost of doing business is high because of taxes--insurance--fuel prices--sevice fleet vehicles and so on.

Businesses are having to implement every cost cutting measure that is available to keep the doors open and keep profitable to stay in business and provide jobs as well as maintain their position in the marketplace. The "intellegent" business owner with common sense will explore "all" aspects of their business to "TRIM FAT"
and implement cost saving measures throughout the whole company, not just one area.

It is hard to "police" the actions of employees so they do the right thing, in the old days you could trust folks. I can't blame companies for having to do what they have to keep a float. Modern technology has made a way to make that happen.

After the bad apples are weeded out, we will see a difference in the Industry.

It is a touchy subject and it is easy to get ruffled.
