Ok, let me explain this again:
Say you are a teller at Chase Bank. You obviously have little or no say in the company, and have no power to make or break anything. You are sharp and a good worker though and you saved your company money over the years by preventing fraud by being thorough and diligent.
You did everything right and are an awesome person. Your boss tells you that you are getting a massive raise! Whoo!
But, as it turns out, the head of Chase, who you have never met nor will ever meet invested a bunch of money under the table with Bernie Madoff, and every mortgage that was issued by your bank in the last year was given to illegal aliens with $3/hour tomato-picking jobs and are all in foreclosure.
Suddenly, Chase is bankrupt! They are going to have to close unless someone comes and buys them out. Let's call this buyout company Obama Unlimited.
Now, you were promised a raise by your old boss. PROMISED. But the new management announces pay cuts across the board! OH NOES!
That's how it happens. And yeah, I'm crying buckets of tears for this superman worker who is SO VALUABLE. But that doesn't mean he's entitled to ANYTHING.
But if this douche actually made money, he can stroll into any other job and make money there instead. So why is he writing whiny open letters instead of getting that better job? Because of some professed loyalty to the AIG brand? BULL. SHIT. I would put money on the fact that this guy can't GET another job. If there were all these job offers just throwing themselves at these guys 6 months ago, they shouldn't have any trouble finding a position today, right?
